These sources--on topics such as measurement conversion, material selection, and manufacturing processes--often delve so deeply into their subjects that it's difficult for designers to find just the right information they need. The Industrial Design Reference and Specification book... gather[s] all the essential pieces of information industrial designers need on a daily basis in one concise handbook." -- back cover.

From the design of your morning paper to the subway ticket machine to the books you browse to the smartphone you use to the packaging for the chocolate bar you buy as an afternoon treat, Kidd reveals the hidden secrets behind each of the design choices, with a healthy dose of humor, expertise, and of course, judgment as he goes"--Amazon.com.
