Teachers of design will appreciate the brief, clear, and inclusive presentation. The dynamic layout invites notation, making the book a starting point for personal vocabulary, both visual and literal. The sewn binding is tough enough for years of studio use, and the compact size will fit into a toolbox or pocket.

From the Inside Flap
Did you ever notice the similarity between the words textile, texture and textbook? Would you be interested to know that they share the same Latin root, textus, which means "woven thing"? Knowing this enlarges our understanding of literature, where lines of words connect like warp and weft to make a fabric of meaning, and helps us realize the importance of structure in a tactile object.
Each of the 100 basic art-related terms in Design Language is examined with scholarship and wit. Each keyword entry contains selected dictionary definitions, pronunciation guide, etymology, subjective commentary, a provocative quotation, and a list of associated terms.
