In 1939, 'Vogue' magazine invited commercial designer Raymond Loewy and eight of his contemporaries--including Walter Dorwin Teague, Egmont Arens, and Henry Dreyfuss--to design a dress for the 'Woman of the Future' as part of its special issue promoting the New York World's Fair and its theme, 'The World of Tomorrow.' While focusing primarily on her clothing and accessories, many commented as well on the future woman's physique, predicting that her body and mind would be perfected through the implementation of eugenics. Industrial designers' fascination with eugenics--especially that of Norman Bel Geddes--began during the previous decade, and its principles permeated their theories of the modern design style known as 'streamlining.'In 'Eugenic Design,' Christina Cogdell charts new territory in the history of industrial design, popular science, and American culture in the 1930s by uncovering the links between streamline design and eugenics, the pseudoscientific belief that the best human traits could--and should--be cultivated through selective breeding. Streamline designers approached products the same way eugenicists approached bodies. Both considered themselves to be reformers advancing evolutionary progress through increased efficiency, hygiene and the creation of a utopian 'ideal type.' Cogdell reconsiders the popular streamline style in U.S. industrial design and proposes that in theory, rhetoric, and context the style served as a material embodiment of eugenic ideology.With careful analysis and abundant illustrations, 'Eugenic Design' is an ambitious reinterpretation of one of America's most significant and popular design forms, ultimately grappling with the question of how ideology influences design. <P>In 'Eugenic Design,' Christina Cogdell charts new territory in the history of industrial design, popular science, and American culture in the 1930s by uncovering the links between streamline design and eugenics, the pseudoscientific belief that the best human traits could--and should--be cultivated through selective breeding., University of Pennsylvania Press, 3, New York: Assouline Publishing.

Softcover. New. This is the third book in Withers Publishing series covering opposed-piston-powered locomotives. During the development of the 1,000-horsepower switcher, F-M officials knew that the company would have to produce a road cab unit if it were going to make it in the locomotive business. F-M engineers designed a road locomotive around a car body styled by industrial designer Raymond Loewy. Since F-M did not have the shop capacity to build a large locomotive itself, it contracted that work to General Electric, which produced the units at its Erie, Pa., plant, hence the name Erie-built. GE went on to build 111 of the distinctive locomotives for the Union Pacific, Santa Fe, Milwaukee Road, Kansas City Southern, New York Central, and Pennsylvania Railroads. With a 1,000-horsepower switcher and a 2,000-horsepower road cab unit, F-M wanted to enter the road-switcher market. During 1946, the company's engineering team designed a 2,000-horsepower end-cab unit for its first road switcher, named the Heavy Duty unit. Few railroads saw the H20-44s potential-moving tonnage at a higher speed than could a typical 1,500- and 1,600-horsepower four-axle road switcher of the era. In all, 96 H20-44s were sold to five customers.

Kenneth Thomas Walsh (born May 1947) is an American journalist. From 1994 to 1995, he was president of the White House Correspondents' Association. The author was the chief White House correspondent for U.S. News & World Report. He joined the magazine in 1984 as a congressional correspondent and has covered the presidency, presidential campaigns, and national politics since 1986. Walsh is one of the longest-serving White House correspondents in history. He has won the two most prestigious awards for White House coverage: the Aldo Beckman Award (twice) and the Gerald R. Ford Prize for Distinguished Reporting on the Presidency (three times). In 2006, he won the Fitzwater Prize for Leadership in Public Communication presented by the Fitzwater Center at Franklin Pierce College. Walsh's freelance work has been published in the Washington Post, the American Journalism Review, and the New Republic. Prior to working at U.S. News, Walsh was Washington correspondent for the Denver Post from 1981-1984. Before that, he covered government and politics for the Denver Post in Denver, and was a newsman and Statehouse correspondent for the Associated Press in Denver for three-and-a-half years. Walsh earned a master's degree in communication from American University and a B.A. in journalism from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. From the award-winning chief White House correspondent for U.S. News & World Report comes the definitive history of Air Force One. From FDR's prop-driven Pan Am to the glimmering blue and white jumbo 747 on which George W. Bush travels, the president's plane has captured the public's awe and imagination, and is recognized around the world as a symbol of American power. In this unique book, Kenneth Walsh looks at the decisions that our last 12 presidents made on the plane; the personality traits and peccadilloes they revealed when their guard was down; and the way they each established a distinctive mood aboard that was a reflection of their times, as well as their individual personalities. Based on interviews with four living presidents, scores of past and present White House officials, and staff and crew members of Air Force One, Walsh's book reveals countless fascinating stories of life aboard the "flying White House." It also features descriptions of the food, the decor, the bedrooms, the medical clinic, and much more--as well as remarkable photos of the planes (inside and out) and the presidents. Derived from a Publishers' Weekly article: This peek inside the "flying Oval Office" comes courtesy of U.S. News and World Report's award-winning White House correspondent, who has logged more than 200 trips aboard Air Force One. To document the history and evolution of the "flying White House," Walsh interviewed more than 120 people, including the plane's crews and staff, plus past presidents and White House officials. Americans once thought presidents should "never stray from the United States," but FDR "changed the whole dynamic," becoming the first airborne chief executive when he flew to a secret 1943 meeting with Churchill in Casablanca. Truman, who used "the plane itself as a power tool," was the first to fly routinely, and Eisenhower was the first to travel by jet. The code name Air Force One was introduced in Ike's era after air traffic controllers confused Eastern 610 with the president's Air Force 610. JFK made the code name public, and his sleek new 707 "seemed to embody modernity itself" after Jackie Kennedy and industrial designer Raymond Loewy devised the now-familiar blue-and-white exterior. Focusing on the mystique and prestige of Air Force One and its ascendancy as a symbol of world power, Walsh describes key decisions made in the air, leaving a contrail of anecdotes about presidential behavior aloft, and concludes by detailing the dramatic events aboard the presidential jet on September 11 when the controversial decision was made not to return to Washington., Hyperion, 2003, 3, Chicago {?}: Sears Roebuck and Co.

Coldspot was a brand by US retail company Sears that existed from 1928 to 1976, when it was replaced with the Kenmore brand. The brand was originally created for a line of refrigerators. Other products sold under the Coldspot brand included freezers, dehumidifiers, and window air conditioning units. Many of these products were manufactured for Sears by Seeger Refrigeration, which was purchased by Sunbeam, giving the new name Seeger-Sunbeam. The company was then purchased by The Whirlpool Corporation under various model prefixes, most notably the "106" model prefix which can be found on the model number placard on the unit. All units were manufactured at the Evansville, IN. The International Harvester Plant known as the "Icebox" till Whirlpool closed the plant in 2009. In 1934, Raymond Loewy redesigned the Coldspot refrigerator into what Time magazine would later praise as "a single smooth, gleaming unit of functional simplicity", increasing its sales five-fold within two years. When the Coldspot electric refrigerator debuted in 1928, it was somewhat of a novelty. Most early refrigerators were expensive and suffered from design and maintenance problems. The Coldspot, however, met with immediate public acceptance, and the 1929 model was a main point of interest for visitors to the Paris International Exposition that year. Sears knew that there was a large market for electric refrigerators, but that costs prevented most people from buying them. So, Sears decided to design its own refrigerator. At the time, most refrigerator manufacturers were building 4-cubic-foot models. Sears wanted to build a 6-cubic-foot model and sell it at the price of a 4-cubic-foot model. Sears hired Herman Price, a well-known refrigerator engineer, to help with the project. Then, in 1934, Sears hired industrial designer Raymond Loewy to completely redesign the Coldspot refrigerator. Price and Loewy incorporated a contemporary streamlined design, plus new ideas that improved both the reliability and serviceability of the refrigerator. These men also pioneered the use of aluminum for refrigerator shelving. In one year, sales of the Coldspot soared more than 300 percent. Over the years, Sears' Coldspot line of refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners featured several other product innovations. In 1953, Coldspot upright freezers included dense fiberglass insulation that saved on electricity, plus a cabinet guaranteed not to "sweat." The Coldspot "Cold Guard" debuted in 1960 as the first frostless refrigerator, and 1971's model included a built-in cold-water dispenser and an improved "humidrawer" food crisper. By 1977, however, the brand recognition of Kenmore was so great that most people surveyed by Sears believed that Kenmore already had a line of refrigerators, even though it did not. Sears then decided to replace Coldspot with Kenmore on all Sears refrigerators, freezers, and air-conditioning units., Sears Roebuck and Co, 2.5, Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018-08-15.

Design: The Whole Story takes a close look at the key developments, movements and practitioners of design around the world, from the beginnings of industrial manufacturing to the present day. Organized chronologically, it locates design within its technological, cultural, economic, aesthetic and theoretical contexts. From the high-minded moralists of the 19th century to the radical thinkers of modernism - and from the emergence of showmen such as Raymond Loewy in the 1930s to today's superstars such as Philippe Starck - the book provides in-depth coverage of a subject that touches all our lives. Iconic works that mark significant steps forward or that characterize a particular era or approach - such as Marcel Breuer's Wassily chair of 1925, Eliot Noyes' corporate identity work for IBM in the 1950s and Matthew Carter's Verdana typeface, designed to be read on screen - are analysed in detail, while the text sets out the framework of ideas, intent and technology within which differing approaches to design have evolved. From the cars we drive and the products we buy to the graphics that surround us, we are all consumers of design. Design: The Whole Story provides all the information needed to decode the material world. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery., 0, .

Jeffrey Meikle is an American cultural historian and historian of design, currently the Stiles Professor in the Department of American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. He is best known for two studies of American material culture: Twentieth Century Limited: Industrial Design in America, 1925-1939 (1979), and American Plastic: A Cultural History (1995). Meikle is generally credited as one of the founders of the discipline of design history; his essay, "Ghosts in the Machine: Why It's Hard to Write about Design," published in 2005, lays out some of the central issues confronting the field. In the late 1920s, "streamlined" became the term businessmen used to described new models that were easier to produce as well as those that met with less sales resistance than older products. Illustrating this concept with streamlined objects from soup cans to the Chrysler building, Jeffrey Meikle's classic book, Twentieth Century Limited, celebrates the birth of the industrial design profession from 1925-1939. This second edition includes a new preface and improved photographic reproduction. Commercial artists who answered the call of business, Walter Dorwin Teague, Norman Bel Geddes, Henry Dreyfuss, and Raymond Loewy the best known among them, were pioneers who envisioned a coherent machine-age environment in which life would be clean, efficient, and harmonious. Working with new materials, chrome, stainless steel, Bakelite plastic, they created a streamlined expressionist style which reflected the desire of the Depression-era public for a frictionless, static society. Appliances such as Loewy's Coldspot refrigerator "set a new standard" (according to the advertisements), and its usefulness extended to the way it improved the middle-class consumer's taste for sleek new products. Profusely illustrated with 150 photographs, Twentieth Century Limited pays tribute to the industrial designers and the way they transformed American culture; a generation after its initial publication, this book remains the best introduction to the subject.
