Design History - Understanding Theory and Method

Zusatztext In totality [ Design History is] more than just a teaching or study resource. As [it] advocate[s] that the production, consumption and mediation of designed objects and images affect everyone, [it] will be of interest to both informed and general readerships. Design History 's introduction tentatively offers that design history might be seen as a field of cultural history - although, as the volume unfolds, robustly demonstrates that it is... indeed this is a great strength [of Design History ]: the effective demonstration that design analysis and history is not an elitist, purely academic pursuit, but essential to consideration of society and its cultural expressions in the very broadest sense.
