Moving through a wide range of sign types—from prohibition and pharmacy signs to emergency signage, directional systems, airport graphics and donor plaques—Ludlow investigates where their visual languages originated and why they look the way they do. Combining historical research, graphic taxonomy and design criticism, the book encourages us to reconsider the built environment as a rich visual record of how societies communicate, regulate and navigate the world around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition: \u003c\/b\u003eFine\/Near Fine.
