History of Technology, Volume 22 deals with the history of technical discovery and change and explores the relation of technology to other aspects of life - social, cultural and economic - and shows how technological development has shaped, and been shaped by, the society in which it occurred. Published under the auspices of the Institute of Historical Research, University of London."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
