Small Things Considered by Henry Petroski

Design is a characteristic of all "things." According to Petroski, there is no "perfect" design. Interestingly written with wonderful examples of grocery bags, stairs, potato peelers. And a sad paragraph about the Museum of Science and Industry's new basement entrance. Toothbrushes, pizza box supports, light switches, ease or complicate our lives.
