Thinking through Technology: The Path between Engineering and Philosophy by Carl Mitcham
Even though this book does not explicitly address design history, it is an excellent introduction to the changing understanding of technology over the course of history. A useful read for anyone interested in our relationship with technology and how we shape it.
