Technology, Values, and Society: Social Forces in Technological Change

"There has hitherto been no single, manageable volume that can introduce undergraduates - both those preparing for technical professions (who need to understand the cultural context of their career) and those in the arts and sciences (who need to be technically literate) - to the complex role that technology has played in the broader culture. The book's grounding in social science gives it a down-to-earth, concrete solidity and its smooth style and clear organization should make it accessible to all readers, including interested members of the general reading public." (Melvin Cherno, J. L. Vaughan Professor Emeritus of Humanities, Chairman, Division of Humanities, School of Engineering/Applied Science, University of Virginia)
