Trade Review
"This is not your grandparent’s version of a practice textbook, it is so much more… a one stop shop for understanding the mysteries of our profession… As a warning, once you pick up this book, you will not put it down until finished; and then continue to use it as a reference." —Thomas Fowler IV, FAIA, ACSA Distinguished Professor
Critical praise for the Second Edition of Professional Practice 101

"Think of this book as a design primer, providing the basics you’ll need to create the practice you want." —Thomas Fisher (from the Foreword to the Second Edition)
