DelightÕs Muse is a blessedly short, accessible, and thoughtfully illustrated summary of Christopher AlexanderÕs four volume work, The Nature of Order. It rescues readers from the massive effort required to navigate AlexanderÕs 2000-page labyrinth without map or compass.
DelightÕs Muse will interest not only fans of AlexanderÕs earlier books (the best known being A Pattern Language from 1977, and The Timeless Way of Building from 1979) but everyone willing to entertain a fresh and stimulating way to observe the world and the variety of things we place in it.
