Design History & Criticism Editorial Review
**** "CAD Monkeys, Dinosaur Babies and T-Shaped People" by Warren Berger offers readers an engaging and comprehensive look into the world of design thinking. The book's strength lies in its ability to present complex concepts in a manner that is both approachable and thought-provoking, making it particularly valuable for non-designers and those interested in the broader implications of design philosophy. Berger intertwines fascinating anecdotes and interviews with prominent figures in the design field, reminiscent of Malcolm Gladwell’s narrative style. Reviewers have noted the book’s array of practical examples, from reimagining the design of prescription pill bottles to developing strategies for social issues such as smoking cessation and access to clean water in underserved communities. While readers appreciate the plethora of insights and creative applications discussed, some have expressed a desire for a more thorough exploration of non-physical design thinking, especially in scientific contexts. Additionally, the instructional content in the final chapter, “Begin Anywhere,” could have benefited from elaboration. Nevertheless, Berger's arguments advocating for design as a mindset capable of fundamentally altering our interactions with the world resonate with many. Overall, the book invites readers to expand their understanding of design and encourages them to see it as a powerful vehicle for innovation and problem-solving in both their careers and personal lives. **
