A list of methods and brief outline of how to use them.
If nothing else, this book and it's sibling, show concretely that 'the design process', is a vague and irrelevant phrase. It is a 'design toolkit' - and a large one.

Different tools for different contexts, with different people, to achieve different things.

I'll keep this on my shelf and everytime I start a project refer to it and keep track of which I'm using.
