Drawing upon art, science, philosophy, and the history of culture, Lewis Mumford explained the origin of the machine age and traced its social results, asserting that the development of modern technology had its roots in the Middle Ages rather than the Industrial Revolution. Mumford sagely argued that it was the moral, economic, and political choices we made, not the machines that we used, that determined our industrially driven economy. Equal parts powerful history and polemic, "Technics and Civilization" was the first comprehensive attempt in English to portray the development of the machine age over the last thousand years - and to predict the pull the technological still holds over us today.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 23mmItem Length: 16mmItem Width: 3mmItem Weight: 794gRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
