summer reading

Looking over DesignObserver's latest new books list... as usual, a lot of books on sustainability alongside glossy coffee table books.  For once though, there is a disability-related book: Design Meets Disability, which I am reading right now and will hopefully review soon.

a few others that caught my eye...

Design Your Life: The Pleasures and Perils of Everyday Things by Ellen Lupton

Good Design: Deconstructing Form, Function, and What Makes Things Work by Terry Marks

Design Activism: Beautiful Strangeness for a Sustainable World by Alistair Fuad-Luke

and a book I contributed an essay to (on bicycles and user-focused design studies): The Design Studies Reader, whose $100+ price is pretty disappointing.
