Design of the ages

this books contains a huge amount of objects that are familiar to us in our daily lives and rituals. These objects are a greater part of our lives than we may think, and this book tells us how these objects shape us. A great addition to my collection strongly reccomend it to students of the design fields or anyone interested in making.
