Paperback. Etat : Very Good. The growth and evolution of the audio industry since World War II has been astonishing. The speed of technological innovation, from portable radios to MP3 players, has been matched only by the proliferation of designs created for these icons of contemporary life. Furniture-style radiogram consoles have given way to sleek metallic exteriors, but audio equipment remains one of the ultimate design statements, reflecting popular culture, consumer aspirations and new developments in sound and engineering.
