I am very excited about the upcoming book written by Emily Pilloton and published by Metropolis Books, entitled Design Revolution: 100 Products That Empower People, still on pre-order from Amazon but shipping imminently. I was honored to write the foreword for the book, and having seen an advance copy--it was designed by the amazing Scott Stowell of Open)--am really psyched about the potential of the project. It's filled with a collection of some of the most inspiring designs and design initiatives imaginable, and I believe it will serve as a great sourcebook for designers everywhere looking to make a positive impact. Core77 will have an exclusive interview with Emily coming up in October, but in the meantime, check out the book online, and learn a bit more about it at the Project H page.
