Daniel Jackson is one of the men mentioned in the book How to Design Programs:

"We drew inspiration from Michael Jackson’s method for creating COBOL programs plus conversations with Daniel Friedman on recursion, Robert Harper on type theory, and Daniel Jackson on software design."

The new book, The Essence of Software, is not directly related to Racket, nor Scheme but I think it is cool and important...
