The Shock Of The Old : Technology And Global History Since 1900

  • The Shock Of The Old : Technology And Global History Since 1900

  • Attribution

    David Edgerton

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2007

  • Links

  • Description

    Now, in The Shock of the Old, Edgerton offers a startling new and fresh way of thinking about the history of technology, radically revising our ideas about the interaction of technology and society in the past and in the present. Edgerton reassesses the significance of such acclaimed inventions as the Pill and IT, and underscores the continued importance of unheralded technology, debunking the idea that we live in an era of ever-increasing invention and casting doubt upon the many naive assertions about “the information age.” (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

  • Description

    Artwork by each artist appears with an analytical essay by a curator, all of it prefaced by an anchoring essay on “The Mediated Sensorium” by Caroline Jones. Sensorium is both forensic and diagnostic, viewing the culture of the technologized body from the inside, by means of contemporary artists’ provocations, and from a distance, in essays that situate it historically and intellectually.

Dominance By Design : Technological Imperatives And America’s Civilizing Mission

  • Dominance By Design : Technological Imperatives And America's Civilizing Mission

  • Attribution

    Michael Adas

  • Publication Details

    Book, Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2006

  • Description

    As an integral part of America’s national identity and sense of itself in the world, this civilizing mission provided the rationale to displace the Indians from much of our continent, to build an island empire in the Pacific and Caribbean, and to promote unilateral–at times military–interventionism throughout Asia. Michael Adas brilliantly pursues the history of this mission through America’s foreign relations over nearly four centuries from North America to the Philippines, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf.

Science : A History Of Discovery In The Twentieth Century

  • Science : A History Of Discovery In The Twentieth Century

  • Attribution

    [edited by] Trevor I. Williams

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 1990

  • Description

    It also covers the epic events of recent history that sparked sudden advances, such as World War II (which gave birth to radar, jets, advanced rockets, and atomic power) and the Space Race (leading to new knowledge of the solar system, weather and communication satellites, and Teflon). Special feature sections address such discoveries as the birth control pill, plate tectonics, and organ transplants, and capsule biographies discuss the lives of pivotal figures in twentieth century science. Lavishly illustrated, Science offers a useful and entertaining survey of the spectacular discoveries of the last century, relating the advances in science to the wider current of politics and culture.
