Technological history at its best
12 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
In this excellent book, Dirk Struick strikes an admirable balance among technological history, brief biographies, and social history. He clearly establishes the context for each period and type of invention, reminding us that there is nothing automatic about scientific and technological advance. Economic interests, social hierarchies, and religion all influence the way such developments occur. Unlike many histories of technology, this one is a pleasure to read.
