Design

Featuring more than 100 contemporary design products and systems - safer baby bottles, a waterless washing machine, low-cost prosthetics for landmine victims, Braille-based building blocks for blind children, wheelchairs for rugged conditions, sugarcane charcoal, universal composting systems, and, DIY footballs - this exceptionally smart, friendly and well-designed volume makes the case for design as a tool to solve some of the worlds biggest social problems in beautiful, sustainable and engaging ways. Urgent and optimistic, a compendium and a call to action, "Design Revolution" is one of the most pertinent design publications to come out this year.
