Excerpt from A List of Books on Industrial Arts: October, 1903 The length of time required to complete the printing is due in large measure to the frequency with which titles have been repeated under headings near to each other. It may seem advisable to limit such repetition in future, and to rely more upon the index for the additional references which seem desirable. The arrangement of the list is that of sections 607, 686, 701 to 709, 730 to 779, of the classed subject catalogue, but it contains only those titles in 607, 701 to 709, and 750 to 759, which fall within its scope. The order within the smallest subdivisions is chronological, the latest work being given first; but as the headings in most cases cover several subdivisions, the reasons for the arrangement under each heading are generally not apparent. Peculiarities of typographical arrangement have been determined chiefly by the previous use of the same matter on printed catalogue cards, the type for which has been electrotyped. Inconsistencies in the form of entry are due to the fact that'the older titles are not reprinted when a change of form has been made. The most conspicuous change in form has been caused by the adoption of the cataloguing rules formulated by a committee of the American Library Association and followed by the Library of Congress. All titles pre pared since April, 1903, are in accordance with these rules. The index gives in one alphabetical arrangement subjects, titles, and names of persons, institutions, and places.

An exemplary survey that reassesses the impact of the most important books to have shaped art history through the twentieth century Written by some of today’s leading art historians and curators, this new collection provides an invaluable road map of the field by comparing and reexamining canonical works of art history. From Émile Mâle’s magisterial study of thirteenth-century French art, first published in 1898, to Hans Belting’s provocative Likeness and Presence: A History of the Image before the Era of Art, the book provides a concise and insightful overview of the history of art, told through its most enduring literature. Each of the essays looks at the impact of a single major book of art history, mapping the intellectual development of the writer under review, setting out the premises and argument of the book, considering its position within the broader field of art history, and analyzing its significance in the context of both its initial reception and its afterlife. An introduction by John-Paul Stonard explores how art history has been forged by outstanding contributions to scholarship, and by the dialogues and ruptures between them.

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 Don 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.
