Technology and Science in the Industrializing Nations 1500-1914 (Control of Nature Series)

Eric Dorn Brose


Technology and Science in the Industrializing Nations 1500-1914 (Control of Nature Series) Eric Dorn Brose Here is a tightly written, concise survey of the history of technology and science over four centuries. In constructing this engaging account, Professor Brose weaves a fabric from three histories which, until now, have been thought of as mutually exclusive. The history of technology, the history of science, and the history of economic development leading to the Industrial Revolution have been developed to a large degree separately. Few historians have attempted a synthesis such as this which demonstrates the relationship between them and general political developments in a way which produces a rounded account, with each strand playing its part in supporting and interacting with the others. The narrative starts with the opening of the modern historical epoch around 1500 and ends with the outbreak of World War I in 1914 and covers events in both Europe and the United States. Brose constructs his account from the standpoint of technological systems--the idea that each epoch... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Here is a tightly written, concise survey of the history of technology and science over four centuries.

John Aitchison, Harold Carter


Language, Economy and Society: The Changing Fortunes of the Welsh Language in the Twetieth-Century John Aitchison, Harold Carter University of Wales Press. This is an updated and extended version of the book previously published under the title University of Wales Press. This is an updated and extended version of the book previously published under the title "A Geography of the Welsh Language 1961-1991". The publication expands on the main themes addressed within the original text, makes reference to research, and presents sets of language data both for individuals and for households in wales. An additional chapter examines the impact of migration on the language, the relationship between social class and ability to speak Welsh, and the bases for the reproduction and maintenance of the language within the context of the family. The final chapter is extended and considers the prospects for the language, in the light of political and insitutional developments (including the Assembly), planning issues (most notably housing) and developments in the field of education. The implications of these and other socio-economic forces for the long-term well-being of the language are evaluated....

The Economic Consequences of the Vietnam War

Anthony S. Campagna


The Economic Consequences of the Vietnam War Anthony S. Campagna The consequences of the Vietnam War on the United States' economy is the subject of this work. Campagna provides a chronological study of the war's identifiable costs and benefits, beginning with the pre-war economy of the 1950s, through the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and culminating with Nixon's handling of the war and its aftermath. Both the short-term impact, including contemporary government and administration policies, and the long-term effects are examined, as Campagna describes the change in the basic economic structure that the war has been responsible for. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин The consequences of the Vietnam War on the United States' economy is the subject of this work.
