这本书从历史的角度解读了印刷字体，从形制、体制到印制的演进过程，以及对中国文化、经济、科技和人们生活产生的影响。还可以了解到一九四九年来中国政府对文字改革和字体设计的关注与投入，及全国仅有的做字单位 “一所三厂”不断尝试改革的成功与失败。 本书更专业地陈述字体设计的艺术规律和知识，让读者认识到字体设计人，以及他们从事的艺术活动的价值，认知到文字的审美和功能应用，使人们对汉字之美有全新的理解。 通过对这十几位字体设计师的采访纪实，我们可以看到他们作为个人，映衬出新中国印刷字体发展进程的历史轨迹。读过此书，才懂得感激文字，敬畏文字！
浏览全书，可让我们了解中国印刷造字活动近一百年的时间跨度，明白近代中国印刷文字创造的由来、现状和发展进程。更让我们有幸聆听到像谢培元、钱震之等极少数国宝级字体设计大师的字韵遗音。他们以深厚的文化修养和审美素质，将汉字的 “笔形、结构、灰度”掌握得恰到好处，创造了新报宋、 清刻体、宋一体、华文楷体、华丰仿宋、小姚、楷体…… 广泛应用于新中国成立后的《人民日报》《辞海》等各种文化载体，改变了中国这个汉字大国却需从日本引进印刷字体的历史。也让我们认识了朱志伟、倪初万、齐立、陆华平、柯炽坚等第二代字体设计人以及北大方正字体创作团队，他们一方面对文字执着传承，一方面不拘泥于固化模式，以字体美学认知和人性化的阅读观，设计出提高阅读速度的新字体。朱志伟创作了适合大众阅读的“博雅宋”； 倪初万的 “水柱体”， 以及他由生活经验转化为创作灵感，创作出个性生动的标题字等。文中的采访，让你感受到他们甘于寂寞，对文字充满情感，忍受劳动价值不被认同，忘我的创作历程。读后我们不由得肃然起敬，充满感激。

In Japan Kenji Kawakami is famous for his tireless promotion of Chindogu: the art of the unuseless idea. Meant to solve problems of modern life, these bizarre and logic-defying gadgets and gizmos are actually entirely impractical. Addicts of the unuseless will love this collection of 200 Chindogu, including the Drymobile (your laundry dries as you drive), the Solar-Powered Torch (never runs low on batteries), Duster Slippers for Cats (now the most boring job around the house becomes hours of fun...for your cat!), Walk 'n' Wash Ankle-attachable Laundry Tanks (a perfect solution for the problems of inadequate exercise and hygiene), and many, many more... These hilarious inventions have taken Japan by storm. Every one of the 200 items in "The Big Bento Box of Unuseless Japanese Inventions" has actually been manufactured to the highest standards, fully tested by pioneering members of the Japanese public, and documented in their unuselessness with 442 color photographs.

Even the smartest among us can feel inept as we fail to figure out which light switch or oven burner to turn on, or whether to push, pull, or slide a door. The fault, argues this ingenious—even liberating—book, lies not in ourselves, but in product design that ignores the needs of users and the principles of cognitive psychology. The problems range from ambiguous and hidden controls to arbitrary relationships between controls and functions, coupled with a lack of feedback or other assistance and unreasonable demands on memorization. The Design of Everyday Things shows that good, usable design is possible. The rules are simple: make things visible, exploit natural relationships that couple function and control, and make intelligent use of constraints. The goal: guide the user effortlessly to the right action on the right control at the right time.
In this entertaining and insightful analysis, cognitive scientist Donald A. Norman hails excellence of design as the most important key to regaining the competitive edge in influencing consumer behavior. Now fully expanded and updated, with a new introduction by the author, The Design of Everyday Things is a powerful primer on how—and why—some products satisfy customers while others only frustrate them.

Digital technology has changed the way we interact with everything from the games we play to the tools we use at work. Designers of digital technology products no longer regard their job as designing a physical object--beautiful or utilitarian--but as designing our interactions with it. In Designing Interactions, award-winning designer Bill Moggridge introduces us to forty influential designers who have shaped our interaction with technology. Moggridge, designer of the first laptop computer (the GRiD Compass, 1981) and a founder of the design firm IDEO, tells us these stories from an industry insider's viewpoint, tracing the evolution of ideas from inspiration to outcome. The innovators he interviews--including Will Wright, creator of The Sims, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the founders of Google, and Doug Engelbart, Bill Atkinson, and others involved in the invention and development of the mouse and the desktop--have been instrumental in making a difference in the design of interactions. Their stories chart the history of entrepreneurial design development for technology. Moggridge and his interviewees discuss such questions as why a personal computer has a window in a desktop, what made Palm's handheld organizers so successful, what turns a game into a hobby, why Google is the search engine of choice, and why 30 million people in Japan choose the i-mode service for their cell phones. And Moggridge tells the story of his own design process and explains the focus on people and prototypes that has been successful at IDEO--how the needs and desires of people can inspire innovative designs and how prototyping methods are evolving for the design of digital technology. Designing Interactions is illustrated with more than 700 images, with color throughout. Accompanying the book is a DVD that contains segments from all the interviews intercut with examples of the interactions under discussion. Interviews with:
Bill Atkinson, Durrell Bishop, Brendan Boyle, Dennis Boyle, Paul Bradley, Duane Bray, Sergey Brin, Stu Card, Gillian Crampton Smith, Chris Downs, Tony Dunne, John Ellenby, Doug Englebart, Jane Fulton Suri, Bill Gaver, Bing Gordon, Rob Haitani, Jeff Hawkins, Matt Hunter, Hiroshi Ishii, Bert Keely, David Kelley, Rikako Kojima, Brenda Laurel, David Liddle, Lavrans Løvlie, John Maeda, Paul Mercer, Tim Mott, Joy Mountford, Takeshi Natsuno, Larry Page, Mark Podlaseck, Fiona Raby, Cordell Ratzlaff, Ben Reason, Jun Rekimoto, Steve Rogers, Fran Samalionis, Larry Tesler, Bill Verplank, Terry Winograd, and Will Wright

Five years and more than 100,000 copies after it was first published, it's hard to imagine anyone working in Web design who hasn't read Steve Krug's "instant classic" on Web usability, but people are still discovering it every day. In this second edition, Steve adds three new chapters in the same style as the original: wry and entertaining, yet loaded with insights and practical advice for novice and veteran alike. Don't be surprised if it completely changes the way you think about Web design. Three New Chapters! * Usability as common courtesy -- Why people really leave Web sites * Web Accessibility, CSS, and you -- Making sites usable and accessible * Help! My boss wants me to ______. -- Surviving executive design whims "I thought usability was the enemy of design until I read the first edition of this book. Don't Make Me Think! showed me how to put myself in the position of the person who uses my site. After reading it over a couple of hours and putting its ideas to work for the past five years, I can say it has done more to improve my abilities as a Web designer than any other book. In this second edition, Steve Krug adds essential ammunition for those whose bosses, clients, stakeholders, and marketing managers insist on doing the wrong thing. If you design, write, program, own, or manage Web sites, you must read this book." -- Jeffrey Zeldman, author of Designing with Web Standards

初の図面集となる本書では、図面のみでの表現でアトリエ・ワンのデザインを“解剖”することを試みます。通常、建築書などの理工書では“図面”をまとめたものは“図面集”と称するのが常ですが、今回、本書のタイトルを“図解”としているのには、次の思いが込められています。
「図解は写真のように写実的であるが、写真とは違った感興を呼ぶ。要素を輪郭によって捉え、その輪郭内を水彩で着彩し、ときに文字を書き込む。その手法の徹底が、驚嘆すべき細部を伴った図を生み、観察する対象の多様性を浮き上がらせる。図解において細部を一つひとつ描き分けることは、人間がそれを見る事ができたという達成の証であると同時に、人間の眼差しが対象によって導かれたという証でもある。そういう図解の持つ、主体の開放と観察の誠実によって、アトリエ・ワンによる住宅作品を一覧するのがこの本の趣旨である」(序文より)
この「図解」の手法を用いることにより、建築を学ぶ学生にはデザインやディテールを読み解く参考書となることはもとより、建築が専門ではない一般の読者にも、絵本を見ているような感覚でアトリエ・ワンの建築の魅力が伝わってきます。
いまアトリエ・ワンのディテールがベールを脱ぎます。

Along with plan and elevation, section is one of the essential representational techniques of architectural design; among architects and educators, debates about a project's section are common and often intense. Until now, however, there has been no framework to describe or evaluate it. Manual of Section fills this void.
Paul Lewis, Marc Tsurumaki, and David J. Lewis have developed seven categories of section, revealed in structures ranging from simple one-story buildings to complex structures featuring stacked forms, fantastical shapes, internal holes, inclines, sheared planes, nested forms, or combinations thereof. To illustrate these categories, the authors construct sixty-three intricately detailed cross-section perspective drawings of built projects—many of the most significant structures in international architecture from the last one hundred years—based on extensive archival research. Manual of Section also includes smart and accessible essays on the history and uses of section.

本书不是教科书式的西方建筑史，也不是建筑的鉴赏手册或装潢指南。德波顿积数年之功著成的最新作品从一个极其独特的角度，审视了一个我们看似熟悉、其实颇为陌生的主题：物质的建筑与我们的幸福之间的关系。人为何需要建筑？为何某种美的建筑会令你愉悦？为何这种对于建筑美的认识又会改变？建筑与人的幸福之间到底有何关联？德波顿从哲学、美学和心理学的角度对这些问题的解答，足以颠覆你日常的那些有关建筑的陈词滥调，会促使你从根本上改变对建筑、进而对人生和幸福的既定态度与追求。
英伦才子阿兰·德波顿博学杂收，好学深思而又处之以平常心；他感受如普鲁斯特之纤毫毕现，文笔堪比蒙田之揖让雍容，趣味又如王尔德之风流蕴藉——而又不至堕入愤世嫉俗。他教我们懂得享受每天的平常岁月，教我们略过虱子只管恣意领略那袭华美的生命锦袍。本书是英伦第一才子的最新力作，根据英国系列电视节目“完美的家”内容撰写完成。在本书中，作者着眼于与我们生活密切相关的东西——建筑，它们对我们的影响可比我们想象得要重要的多。

在日本被誉为西文字体第一人的小林章先生，是日本和西方两个世界的字体大师，他通晓东西方文化、历史、近代书法和字体设计。常被聘请为国际字体设计大赛的评委，发现很多亚洲人不懂得如何正确使用西文字体，更不懂得如何将亚洲文字与西文组合在一起。
本书分为六章，分别从“字母的形成”、 “认识西文字体”、“西文字体的选择”、“玩味西文字体”、“西文字体制作”、“致立志要学习西文的朋友”等几个方面，细致讲解了西文字体的发展背景，拉丁字母的构造，如何理解不同字形，以及西文字体的鉴别方式。书中还以图片的方式展示了很多正确使用西文字体的范例，以及不成功的设计效果，使读者能对西文字体有一个既感性又生动的认识。
