Christopher Innes. Designing Modern America: Broadway to Main Street. New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Press. 2005. Pp. xiv, 320. $40.00.

Christopher Innes's book charts the rise of industrial design in the United States from the unique perspective of the Broadway stage. Innes demonstrates the ways in which the theater provided a springboard for the careers of two designers, Joseph Urban and Norman Bel Geddes, whose work came to define the broad-scale practice of industrial design. Indeed, in Innes's view, Urban and Bel Geddes were so prolific, and their work so prevalent, that together they not only forged the profession of industrial design but created the predominant "look" of the United States during what would come to be called "the American Century."
