A superlative collection of authoritative contributions from many of the most influential writers on design, past and present. * Paul Atkinson, Sheffield Hallam University, UK *\u003cbr\u003eA book that works for students or anyone else with the slightest interest in design. * New York Daily News *\u003cbr\u003eA critical snapshot of what's vital now in global comparative critical thinking on Design. The clearly structured and framed sets of key essays disclose the full reach and power of the myriad acts of designing that create our realities and, increasingly, narrow our future options. * Lisa Norton, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThe Reader combines new interpretations with influential texts that have shaped Design thinking over the last thirty years. It shows how Design is becoming more complex and how the emerging discipline of Design Studies has risen to this challenge. It will be an essential resource for students. * Suzette Worden, Curtin University of Technology, Australia *\u003cbr\u003eThe Reader will become a standard reference for the subject.

It opens up endless fields of inquiry and also affirms 'Design Studies' as the only theoretical framework which encompasses all the richness and multiplicity of Design both conceptually and globally. * Eduardo Corte-Real, IADE Design School, Portugal *\u003cbr\u003eA wonderful and richly engaging book that would be invaluable to any student both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels of study to draw upon as a one-stop companion and reliable point of reference. * The Design Journal *\u003cbr\u003eAs a design educator, I've been waiting for a smart compilation of design essays for my graduate 3D design students. Until now, I've used my own mix of 'greatest hits' essays to inform our reading seminars. This year I began using this compilation with my graduate students. I like the way the book is structured by contemporary topics. The content is smart, contemporary and concise - excerpting the most relevant reading from each essay. I'd recommend this book to any student with an interest in the intellectual-big-picture of design. * Amazon.com - Scott Klinker (Cranbook Academy of Art, USA) *\u003cbr\u003eIf you're looking to do a little self-education this fall, this just might be the book for you. * Amy Azzarito, Apartment Therapy Blog *\u003cbr\u003eProvides a great deal of food for thought for beginning design students from numerous subdisciplines and is also a good refresher for more advanced scholars. * Design Issues *\u003cbr\u003eIn totality [\u003ci\u003eDesign Studies \u003c\/i\u003eis] 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... [A great strength of \u003ci\u003eDesign Studies\u003c\/i\u003e is] 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. -- Linda King, The Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Ireland * Artefact - Journal of the Irish Association of Art Historians *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeneral Introduction, Hazel Clark and David Brody  \u003cb\u003eSECTION I: HISTORY OF DESIGN \u003c\/b\u003e Section Introduction  I.1: DESIGN HISTORIES  Part Introduction  1.
