Adler, Thanks for the comments! I actually have Goodwin's book on my nightstand now, I'm about 4/5 of the way through. I read About Face a couple of years ago, right when 3 came out. Both are great references, and About Face - especially the key points that it summarizes towards the end - remains a tremendous inspiration of mine.
Some of my book talks about how to push design as a priority in organizations, which could be pertinent to designers, product managers, even executives. But the vast majority of it focuses on /how to design something well/. It's more about the craft than the business process; it focuses more on the final product than the research. Goodwin, Cooper, and Indi Young have already written very well about research. I talk about the fundamentals in ten pages, suggest those books as more comprehensive references, and move on. (It's also worth noting that my book will be about 1/3 the length of Designing for the Digital Age.) It's been a couple of weeks since you replied here; since then, I've posted a lot more explaining the book. Some chapter summaries are available on the book's site (http://cadence.cc). I've replaced the old crappy video on my Kickstarter project (http://nickd.org/x/cadence) with one that explains the book's concepts better. And I've been writing periodic reviews of products' usability at I see what you did there (http://isee.whatyoudidthere.com). Maybe the book won't be for everybody - few are - but it does advance new ideas and should be valuable for many people. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
