The argument is illustrated with examples ranging from penknives to computers and from sewing machines to railway carriages. In opening up new ways of appraising the man-made world around us, Objects of Desire is required reading for anyone who has any involvement with design and a revealing document about our society. 272 black-and-white illustrations.403Amazon.comuhttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0500274126/chopaconline-20  2ddccBK  c353851d353851  00102ddc4070aSADAbSADAd2013-11-27l5m3o745.2 FOR 2005pSADA0002171r2016-05-10s2016-04-26v2689.46w2013-11-27yBK
