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.
Expanding Nationalisms at World's Fairs: Identity, Diversity, and
Exchange, 1851-1915 introduces the subject of international
exhibitions to art and design historians and a wider audience as a
resource for understanding the broad and varied political meanings
of design during a period of rapid industrialization, developing
nationalism, imperialism, expanding trade and the emergence of a
consumer society. Its chapters, written by both established and
emerging scholars, are global in scope, and demonstrate specific
networks of communication and exchange among designers,
manufacturers, markets and nations on the modern world stage from
the second half of the nineteenth century into the beginning of the
twentieth. Within the overarching theme of nationalism and
internationalism as revealed at world's fairs, the book's essays
will engage a more complex understanding of ideas of competition
and community in an age of emergent industrial capitalism, and will
investigate the nuances, contradictions and marginalized voices
that lie beneath the surface of unity, progress, and global
expansion.

Reading Graphic Design History uses a series of key artifacts from
the history of print culture in light of their specific historical
contexts. It encourages the reader to look carefully and critically
at print advertising, illustration, posters, magazine art direction
and typography, often addressing issues of class, race and gender.
David Raizman's innovative approach intentionally challenges the
canon of graphic design history and various traditional
understandings of graphic design. He re-examines 'icons' of graphic
design in light of their local contexts, avoiding generalisation to
explore underlying attitudes about various social issues. He
encourages new ways of reading graphic design that take into
account a broader context for graphic design activity, rather than
broad views that discourage the understanding of difference and the
means by which graphic design communicates cultural values. With a
foreword by Steven Heller.
