History of Modern Design Third Edition by David Raizman

This unparalleled and wide-ranging book surveys the history of applied arts
and industrial design from the eighteenth century to the present day, exploring
the dynamic relationship between design and manufacturing, and the
technological, social and commercial contexts in which this relationship has
developed.
In this extensively revised and expanded third edition, David Raizman
addresses international questions more fully with the addition of six Global
Inspiration sections that examine the contributions of non-Western traditions,
rendering the very notion of a 'national' design debatable. The text also pays
closer attention to issues of gender, race, and climate change, and their
impact on design.
With over 580 illustrations, mostly in colour, History of Modern Design is an
inclusive, well-balanced introduction to a field of increasing scholarly and
interdisciplinary research, and provides students in design with historical
perspectives of their chosen fields of study.

David Raizman was Professor in the Art and Art History Department in the
Westphal College of Media Arts & Design at Drexel University in Philadelphia,
until his untimely death in February 2021. He co-edited, with Professor Carma
Gorman, Objects, Audiences, and Literatures: Alternative Narratives in the
History of Design and was the author of Reading Graphic Design History:
Image, Text, and Context, as well as numerous articles and reviews. He
championed the cause of design history, working tirelessly to advance its
teaching
