It is a given that people take design for granted. So it is not surprising that many people have adapted to the rich multimedia interfaces they encounter each day. What is surprising however, is that the design community is only now just reacting to this shift and is struggling to cannonize "E-Design". It would seem that the design world is no different from any other sitting monarch reluctant to budge. If you are diving into 'E-Design', then you no doubt have noticed that the traditional design community fears you. This book was written with you in mind. It is the manifesto to the revolution. This collection of wonderful essays comes straight from the cutting edge thinkers in desgin today--some of them professors, who delight in throwing out references to critical theorists such as Foucault and Derrida. This book is long overdue and I am delighted to have found it as it helps to define the importance of E-Design in the future of design. Natalie Zee's writes, "Digital designers are at the forefront of the industry, those that are helping to define the dicipline, and those that are creating all the innovative interactive experiences...They are Design Technologists."
For all those traditional designers who don't take E-Design seriously, please read this book. As Charles Traub puts it in his essay, "The advent of the computer did not create the technical tangle of multimedia, but rather manifests a pre-existing need in our culture for a more democratic, universal, and diverse way to communicate."

Venezia does a great job of making Hopper's biography interesting to kids, and his work accessible and exciting to them. Examples of his paintings are presented throughout the story, and readers learn what influenced the works at different periods of his life. The author's own cartoons, interpreting events in the story, are very funny. Both big and small kids love them. One of the very best children's books about art we have ever read. Venezia's entire series is wonderful.

This book is a lovely review of Japan's unique designer Eiko Ishioka. She is probably best known for her work on the movies "Bram Stoker's Dracula" and "The Cell". This book contains some of her best work pre-Dracula, including an amazing poster for "Apocalypse Now", unique advertisments for the fashion label Parco, many illustrations and stage productions. The book itself is in very large format, heavy paper and the printing is bright and crisp, the better to display these works of art.

Eileen Gray is an inspiration to any woman who aspires to become an architect in this male-dominated field. This is an honest, enthralling, and wonderful book for anyone remotely interested in architecture!

An excellent reference for electronics designers - lot of information and data. Chapters written by experts in their fields

I was introducted this past weekend to Arthur Geistert's body of work via an exhibit of his various etchings and books at the renowned Art Institute of Chicago. They were, in a word, exquisite. Parents will enjoy them as much as older children in subject matter as well. I was wishing that I could buy the etchings framed and display them at home. I plan to order his books for myself, and I don't have children!

I teach advanced placement art history on the high school level. This book is a great, quick resource guide to review each time period in art history. It describes the main themes in a clear and concise manner. A good additional text to accompany your primary reading source.

The book was more informative of Eva's life and persectives on art than another I purchased at greater by twice the price! The photos were excellent and the pieces chosen for representation were all my favorites! The biography can't be passed over, for it is what has developed her into the admirable woman life and hardship has made her. I bought it to give to a close friend who is a potter, but now it's mine to keep! Janet
