Technology and American society : a history

Gary Cross, Rick Szostak

For undergraduate courses in History of American Technology; Science, Technology and Society; Sociology of Technology. In a single volume, this text combines the history of invention and the interactions of technology with social, economic, cultural, and military change throughout the course of American history. It illustrates the gradual shift from the era of individual artisan inventors to emergence of science-based corporate technology, and links the origins and development of American innovation to the global transformation of industry, agriculture, and transportation.
