Design for the Real World: Human Ecology and Social Change
There are some excellent insights in this book, especially regarding the power of and need for collaborative, multi-disciplinary teams to solve design problems facing the world, but I found Victor's tone a bit combative and I didn't particularly enjoy slogging through an excess of examples of poor design. Even so, I found myself agreeing with him wholeheartedly regarding the role of education in the lives of young designers, as well as the missive to avoid specialization.
The book is a product of its time (1971), which makes it feel dated, but Papanek's call for designers to be world citizens and always mindful of the useful contributions of their work is timeless.
