Focusing on China's hopes and dreams - from the entrepreneurial spirit of individual designers, to society's aspirations at a moment of tremendous change, to the global ambitions of a nation - China Design Now explores how China's new design culture began, what its driving forces are, and how it is developing."--Jacket UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0838/2008428782-b.html ER -
