Description

Summary: Dr. Fritz Kahn (1888-1968), successfully explained complex natural and technical principles with original visual and textual analogies. Equally fascinated by both nature and technology, he described humans as the "highest performance machine in the world." The illustrations he had made are examples of pioneering information design. They are unmistakable and their contents are still relevant today. "Fritz Kahn. Man machine / Maschine Mensch" gives the reader the first in-depth insight into the life and work of this all-round German-American writer and researcher.
