Shock Of The Old : Technology and Global History since 1900.

Author:	David Edgerton
Publisher:	London : Profile Books, 2011.
Edition/Format:	eBook : Document : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	This first ever history of technology casts aside the usual stories of inventions and focuses instead on what people actually use. It reassesses the relationship of technology and society, using unrecognised examples such as Spanish synthetic petrol, Japanese rickshaws, American gas chambers, Soviet tractors and Turkish battleships.

Drawing on political, economic and cultural history, The Shock of the Old dispels misplaced futurism and exemplifies a radical new way of looking at our world.  Read more...
