The book is an illustrated manual on planning and designing for ?EUR??,,????'?????<?good?EUR??,,????'?????<? density and a photographic catalog noting density in housing units per acre for more than 250 neighborhoods. Four photographs of each location are included?EUR??,,????'?????<??oeclose-up, context, neighborhood and plan views.
Top academic books don?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?t make the N.Y. Times Best Seller list, but the do get recognition. Choice magazine, a publication of the Association of College and Research Libraries, a division of the American Library Association, chose 646 books and electronic resources from 7,000 titles for its annual list based on overall excellence in presentation and scholarship; importance relative to other literature in the field; distinction as a first treatment of a subject; originality; and value to undergraduates and undergraduate library collections. Their new list was published in the January 2008 issue of Choice and online at the American Library Association.
Visualizing Density made the Choice list, but was also named a winner at the 51st Annual New England Book Show and was one of the Top 10 Books for 2008 by the online journal Planetizen. Planetizen selects its Top 10 Books based on editorial reviews, sales rankings, reader nominations, recommendations from experts and the book?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s potential impact on the urban planning, development and design professions.
