Guy Julier examines not only the work of important designers worldwide, but also the many dramatic changes that have influenced design and its uses since 1900. Thus political and ideological concepts such as feminism and green design are defined and explained, as are technological advances, new materials and techniques, and influential movements in modern culture. The text incorporates extensive cross-referencing and full bibliographical notes, along with a chronological chart of design highlights.
