Where Stuff Comes From: How Toasters, Toilets, Cars, Computers, and Many Other Things Come to Be As They Are by Harvey Molotch
This book looks like it is going to be about how things work, but really it is about how things are designed. If you are interested in industrial design, this is the book for you. A bit dry in parts, but if you are fascinated with how designers change "everyday" objects - take a look at this.
Molotch offers some interesting points when he suggests that designers can effect social responsibility - when it comes to the things they design and thus can lighten the ecological load.
