Headrick, Daniel R. (Professor of Social Sciences and History, Professor of Social Sciences and History, Roosevelt University)
Technology: A World History offers a brilliant history of invention around the globe. Historian Daniel R. Headrick ranges from the Stone Age and the beginnings of agriculture to the Industrial Revolution and the electronic revolution of the recent past. In tracing the growing power of humans over nature through increasingly powerful innovations, he compares the evolution of technology in different parts of the world, providing a much broader account than isfound in other histories of technology.
