Segal explore the effect society, culture, politics and economics have had upon technological advances, and place the evolution of American technology within the broader context of the development of systems such as transportation and communications. This unique book connects phenomena such as colonial printing presses with the American Revolution; early photographs with the creation of an allegedly unique American character; and high-tech advances in biotechnology with a growing desire for individual autonomy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an ideal resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of the history of technology, the history of science, and American history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlan I Marcus, Professor and Head of the Department of History, Mississippi State University, USA.\u003cbr\u003eHoward P.
