If nobody on the bench could find a word to say for the accused, then nobody had been looking, and a court that has stopped looking is not a court. Unanimity was treated as a sign that the instrument had broken. Modern life produces unanimity by the hour, and we treat it as proof. This book argues that our century is not less dogmatic than the ones we condescend to, merely better dressed.

Most small homes don't feel cramped because they're small. They feel cramped because they were never actually designed—just shrunk. Small by Design breaks down the real principles behind small-space layouts that work: how traffic flow shapes a room before a single piece of furniture goes in, how to layer three or four functions into one space without any of them fighting each other, where storage should live before you even think about buying furniture, and why two rooms with identical square footage can feel completely different depending on where the door is hung.
