Recensione

"[Leonardo to the Internet] is well written, accessible, and perceptive. It also has a comparative dimension that sets it apart from others of its genre. In my opinion, it is the first really good book on the theme of technology in western civilization since Kranzberg and Pursell published their pioneering two-volume work in 1967." -- Merritt Roe Smith, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harper's Ferry Armory and the New Technology
