There were transportation and communication networks. There was the network of the globalized marketplace, which brought into the American home exotic goods previously affordable to only a few. There was the network of standard time, which bound together all but the most rural Americans. There was the public health movement, which joined individuals to their fellow citizens by making everyone responsible for the health of everyone else. There were social networks that joined individuals to their fellows at the municipal, state, national, and global levels. Previous histories of this era focus on alienation and dislocation that new technologies caused. This book shows that American individuals in this era were more connected to their fellow citizens than ever—but by bonds that were distinctly modern.HISTORY / United States / 20th CenturybisacshUnited StatesHistoryUnited StatesCivilization1865-1918HISTORY / United States / 20th Century.973.8Cassedy Steven1188345MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789600103321Connected3745673UNINA03529nam 22005894a 450 991083107780332120170810185138.01-280-82202-397866108220270-470-10042-70-470-10041-9(CKB)1000000000355453(EBL)287289(OCoLC)437176733(SSID)ssj0000168112(PQKBManifestationID)11181682(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000168112(PQKBWorkID)10178019(PQKB)10567490(MiAaPQ)EBC287289(EXLCZ)99100000000035545320060921d2007 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrHandbook of plastics testing and failure analysis[electronic resource] /Vishu Shah3rd ed.Hoboken, N.J.
