From its first appearance in the 19th century, aluminum has inspired creativity and sparked innovation in the design of furniture, jewelry, architecture, fashion, and consumer and industrial products. The book shows how its essential qualities of brilliance, strength, light weight, ductility, corrosion resistance, and ease of recycling have inspired some of the world's greatest artists, designers and engineers. - from jacket flap
