Like it or not, we are a part of an object-obsessed culture. We interact with design-both good and bad-every day. So why are so many of us uncertain of design's meaning and its role in our lives? In the first book to break down the issues of design for a general audience, University of Pennsylvania art history professor George H. Marcus offers much-needed clarification and a tour of the often smart, political, and savvy imagery that characterizes the ever-changing world of products and graphics today.

For those who concern themselves with any or all of these things, this book will be a revelation.
