Reviews / Votes
"This highly interesting volume provides varied methodological approaches and contributions to new national design histories that will undoubtedly enhance research in global design studies." * National Identities"...the contributions are valuable beyond question and the cases studied original. This book will therefore be a referent for future studies on national design histories." * Journal of Design History
"This is a lively, spirited, and imaginative volume whose editors have assembled an impressive range of contributions. It is likely to be embraced not just within design history but also by scholars working in comparative history, art history, spatial theory, and material culture." * Peter McNeil, University of Technology, Sydney
