Things we create / Axel Brechensbauer ; translated by Teo Jenisch.

• 1. Things we create -- 2. The need of objects -- 3. The solution of basic needs -- 4. Re-creating nature -- 5. How we create -- 6. Objects as communication -- 7. Objects as power -- 8. The ultimate object.

• "We all live in a world of objects, yet we rarely stop to think about how and why they came to exist, why they look and feel the way they do, what shapes our preferences, or why we own and use the things we do. Told with visual verve, wit, humor, and above all, clarity, Things We Create is both a history of and a metaphysical study of physical objects -- all the stuff we buy, we collect, we need, we want, a visual guide to civilization's endless quest for the perfect human-made object."--page [4] of cover.
