The Woman Behind Mac's Icons

As I get deeper and deeper into my current research project (California's Matriarchy of Design) the more I admire the early designers and adopters of the Macintosh. So I was especially pleased to see that Susan Kare has come out with Susan Kare Icons, a self published book on her innovative work for Apple in the 1980s and numerous other clients ever since.  Especially interesting are the sketches that she made (on a $2.50 graph paper sketch pad purchased at University Art Supplies in Palo Alto no less!) that introduce the now familiar interactive icons for the Mac.  Steve Silberman has published parts of the new book's introductory essay on NeuroTribes.
