Beautifully designed and packed with fascinating information and superb illustrations, this timely and uniquely wide-ranging compendium of analog objects celebrates the way we used to communicate with each other--how we listened to recorded music, told the time, wrote a letter, watched a film, and took a picture.\u003cbr\u003eOrganized into broad categories of information, sound, vision, and communication, this nostalgic trip down product design's memory lane profiles 250 objects that revolutionized communication, entertainment, and creative expression in their own time-- some of which have been reclaimed in ours. Along the way, it reveals a variety of stories--which companies made the greatest contributions to design--Sony, Braun, Brionvega, and Bang \u0026amp; Olufsen; the evolution of music formats, from vinyl to compact disk; and cameras from Brownie to Instamatic.\u003cbr\u003eAn inspirational guide for analog aficionados, designers and collectors, this is also a charming cultural history of everyday objects that bridge generations and transcend time.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDeyan Sudjic\u003c\/b\u003e is Director Emeritus of the Design Museum, London, and Professor of Design Studies at the University of Lancaster, UK.
