Although design has become eminently newsworthy among the general public in our society, there is very little understanding to be found of the values and implications that underlie it. Design generates much heat but little light: we live in a world that has much design consciousness, but little design awareness. Nigel Whiteley analyses design's role and status today, and discus...(展开全部)

Over the last ten years there has been a huge growth in the area of materials for design, but most books on this subject deal with advanced, semi-formed materials (that is, materials sold as sheet, rod, tube, etc.). This book provides much-needed information on the raw materials, and the low-down on how these can be used. Organized into three sections embracing grown, oil-based...(展开全部)

绿色设计(Green Design)是20世纪80末出现的一股国际设计潮流。绿色设计反映了人们对于现代科技文化所引起的环境及生态破坏的反思，同时也体现了设计师道德贺社会责任心的回归。 在漫长的人类设计史中，工业设计为人类创造了现代生活方式和生活环境的同时，也加速了资源，能源的消耗，并对地球的生态平衡造成了极大的破坏。特别是工业设计的过度商业化，使设计成了鼓励人们无节制的消费的重要介质，“有计划的商品废止制”就是这种现象的极端表现。无怪乎人们称“广告设计”和“工业设计”是鼓吹人们消费的罪魁祸首，招致了许多的批评和责难。正是在这种背景下，设计师们不得不重新思考工业设计师的职责和作用，绿色设计也就应运而生。 从历史可以看出，对于绿色设计产生直接影响的是美国设计理论家维克多·巴巴纳克（Victor Papanek）。早在20世纪60年代末，他就出版了一本引起...(展开全部)

An inclusive vision of mathematics-its beauty, its humanity, and its power to build virtues that help us all flourish For mathematician Francis Su, a society without mathematical affection is like a city without concerts, parks, or museums. To miss out on mathematics is to live without experiencing some of humanity's most beautiful ideas. In this profound book, written for a wi...(展开全部)
