Description
The definitive global history of design
Authored by pre-eminent design scholar Victor Margolin, World History of Design is an indispensable new multi-volume work, providing a comprehensive and detailed historical account of design from prehistory to the end of the twentieth century.
An unrivalled breadth of coverage
Comprising three volumes containing almost one million words and 1,500 images, World History of Design features all world regions across all periods. From the earliest cave art and human tools to the recent development of a global design culture, it includes substantial new material on design in Latin America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
Design in context
World History of Design examines the social issues of design, as well as those of form and aesthetics, in far more detail than previous published histories, relating design's development to the forces of trade, politics and economics.
Multi-disciplinary relevance and appeal
With its broad geographic and chronological purview, and its depth of discussion, World History of Design is an essential resource for students and scholars in design history, as well as in the fields of history, sociology, art history, and anthropology. It will also appeal to design practitioners worldwide and to a general audience with an interest in design.

Reviews / Votes
For close to a decade (maybe longer), Professor Victor Margolin has been working on his three volume opus: World History of Design. I can't wait for it as it promises to be the most complete reference, with emphasis on graphic design and its contexts, that has been published to date. -- Steven Heller * Print Mag *More details
