N2  - "The goal of the book is to introduce designers to the many research tools that can be used to inform design as well as to ideas about how and when to deploy them effectively. Interspersed throughout the book are "demos," snapshots of the design research experience, Design Research charts the paths from research methods to research findings to design principles to design results and demonstrates the transformation of theory into a satisfying and more reliably successful practice."--BOOK JACKET
