Size isn't everything

摘要

Some might question the logic of comparing these two, very different, books. Yet Small Change and Massive Change are linked by more than just a reviewer's tricksy word-play. Ostensibly aimed at niche markets, both books seek to speak in a language that moves beyond their respective specialist audiences. In Bruce Mau's case, it's the design cognoscenti (people who buy books from Magma), and for Nabeel Hamdi it's academia's development-studies sector (people who buy books from the Economist Bookshop). These authors are men on a mission. They want to change things. In fact, they want to change everything.
