From the Cadillac to the Apple Mac, the skyscraper to the Tiffany lampshade, the world in which we live has been profoundly influenced for over a century by the work of American designers. Meikle explores the fascinating history of American design, from the industrialization of the nineteenth century and the mass production of the machine age to the information-based society of the present, examining how design, consumerism, and culture connect.
