This book shows developments in design from the Victorian era to present day. It is an updated version from a 1970 book. It is not a picture book, there is actually more text than pictures, although there are plenty of them. Many photos are less than 3"x4". Most are in colour and labeled. Included are; Victorian design, art nouveau, early modern design, and late modern.Each section is illustrated with both interior designs and architectural designs of the period, such as; Central Park, The Eiffel Tower and the Brooklyn Bridge. Interior designs take in chairs and even inventions such as telephones and the bicycle.What does become confusing at times are the time jumps that occur in each section, especially the Victorian era where styles are shown up to the year 1968. This can be a bit disconcerting to see a Campbell's soup can in the Victorian era. I would have preferred more of a chronological approach, which is what the contents and organization implies. At times the subject matter seems all muddled up in its presentation and method.This book would be of interest to designers of all sort and those who enjoy and are interested in construction and its details. It is a good textbook of the history of the continuation of design and of cultural icons.

Book did not answer my test questions but sure knows how to ramble on about pointless features.
