When technical artefacts become old and worn out, decisions have to be taken: is it necessary, worthwhile or even possible to maintain and repair, reuse or dismantle them ? or must they be discarded? These decisions depend on factors such as the availability of second-hand markets, repair infrastructures and dismantling or disposal facilities. In telling the stories of China's power grid, Canadian telephones, German automobiles and India's shipbreaking business, among others, the contributions in this volume highlight the persistence of technologies and show that maintenance and repair are not obsolete in modern industries and consumer societies. 330 1 $a»Without a doubt, this collection moves the study of technology forward in important and productive conceptual avenues.« 330 1 $a»[This volume] inspires new perspectives, provokes necessary discussions, and forms a building block for future work on time and technology.« 330 1 $aBesprochen in:https://hpscesee.blogspot.com, 01.11.2021 Technikgeschichte, 4 (2022), May-Brith Ohman Nielsen 410 0$aScience studies (Bielefeld, Germany) 517 2 $aKrebs/Weber (eds.), The Persistence of Technology$eHistories of Repair, Reuse and Disposal 606 $aHistory of Technology 606 $aMaintenance 606 $aRepair 606 $aWaste 606 $aEnvironmental History 606 $aTechnology 606 $aCultural History 606 $aSocial History 606 $aHistory 615 4$aHistory of Technology 615 4$aMaintenance 615 4$aRepair 615 4$aWaste 615 4$aEnvironmental History 615 4$aTechnology 615 4$aCultural History 615 4$aSocial History 615 4$aHistory 676 $a600 702 $aKrebs$b Stefan$p
