Publisher's Synopsis

Professor Anthony points out the flaws and disadvantages of certain fashions, children's toys, high-tech gadgets, packaging, public transportation, public restrooms, neighbourhood layouts, classrooms, workplaces, hospitals, and more. In an increasingly diverse populace where many body types, age groups, and cultures interact, she argues that it's time our environments caught up. This fascinating book-full of aha moments-will teach readers to avoid costly mistakes and become more savvy consumers, to recognize the hidden biases in certain products and places, and to work for more intelligent and healthy design in all areas of life.
