Recensione

"Rosenberg and Mowery are among the nation's premier historians of technical change. They relate the sagas of four technologies--the internal combustion engine, the chemical industry, electric power, and the electronics revolution that followed the invention of the transistor in 1947--and look for patterns that repeat among the details that do not." Boston Globe

Descrizione del libro

In 1903 the Wright brothers' airplane travelled a couple of hundred yards. Today streamlined jets transport millions of people each day. Between discovery and application there is a world of innovation, tinkering, improvement and adaptation. This is the world described in this tour of the intersecting routes of technological change.
