A collection of Kahn's essays on various design subjects ranging from Chinese influences on Japanese and Korean art to design schools in Europe and America. The discussion of design schools provides a valuable survey, stressing the variety of subjects available to the American design student, and listing specialized craftsmen who teach. The Museum and Design, Kahn's last essay, is a call for more exhibitions of everyday objects in America's museums. He observes in this essay that department store displays are often more interesting and important reflections of American art than exhibitions in museums.
