>I'd suggest Phaidon Design Classics. London and NY: Phaidon, 2006. It's
chronological treatment--photos and interesting essays by interesting
designers and scholars--of significant objects of all sorts--from
prehistory to a couple of years ago.

> 1)Current imprints only

> 2)English language

> 3)Appeals to "a very general population of university students who have

> These can be reference books, but they must fit the criteria and we must

> beyond that my mind goes blank. I would welcome your suggestions. The
