Synopsis

Button Design History unveils the surprising story of the button, an object often overlooked, yet deeply intertwined with human history. This book elevates the humble button, revealing its evolution from basic fasteners to complex design elements. It argues that buttons are more than mere closures; they're tangible reflections of technological progress, economic conditions, and cultural values. The book will appeal to those interested in design history and fashion history.

 
The book traces the button's journey chronologically, from archaeological discoveries to Renaissance craftsmanship and mass production. Each chapter explores specific eras, like the utilitarian military buttons. Supported by diverse evidence, it offers a unique perspective on how design thinking has shaped button aesthetics. This approach provides designers with inspiration, historians with social insights, and collectors with a deeper understanding of button lore.

    Since the 1960s, documentary films have moved closer to the mainstream, thanks to the popularity of rockumentaries, association with the independent film movement, support from public and cable television, and the rise of streaming video services. Documentary films have become reliable earners at the US box office and ubiquitous on streaming platforms, while historically they existed on the margins of mainstream media. 
     
     
     
    The growing commercialization of documentary film has not gone unnoticed, but it has not been sufficiently explained. Streaming and the growing interest in reality TV are usually offered as explanations whenever a documentary enters the cultural conversation or breaks a box-office record, but neither of those causes grapple with the overlapping causal mechanisms that commercialized documentary film. How Documentaries Went Mainstream provides a more comprehensive and meaningful periodization of the commercialization of documentary film. Although the commercial ascension of documentary films might seem meteoric, it is the culmination of decades-long efforts that have developed and fortified the audience for documentary features. Author Nora Stone refines rough explanations of these efforts through a robust history of the market for documentary films, using knowledge of film economics and the norms of industry discourse to tell a richer story.
