《老科技的全球史》是一本探讨科技历史观的著作。 不同于主流的科技史观所认为的关键的科学和技术进步导致了社会变迁、发明家是改变世界的关键先生,书中的科技史观更认为科技不分优劣,并从多个维度做了比较。 作者对主流的一些科技理念持有不同看法,提出了独特的观点。 科技...
评分这个本书的英文版写的是相当的好,在美国这边被认为是科普佳作,简单,直白。 上海科技一直也是个不错的出版社,但是不知道这次是哪个编辑头脑一热找了这么个翻译,翻译质量明显不行,有这么几点: 1.名义上有两个译者,但是第二个从头到尾都没有交代到底做了什么,连译者的话...
评分说的是本书的翻译。 本来对这本书期望很大,谁知道买回来才读了几页就被那无良的翻译弄坏了情绪。 举例如下: 1、正文第1页最后两行: 这些记述与人们在能够作出历史性分析之前很久时对技术重要意义所作的断言有惊人的相似之处。 ——这个还勉强能猜出来原作者的本意。 2、...

The first proper global account of the place of technology in twentieth century history, this brilliant, thought-provoking book will radically revise our understanding of the relationship between technology and society. Whereas standard histories of technology give tired old accounts of the usual inventions - planes, bombs - "The Shock of the Old" is based on a different idea. Its thrust is that for the full picture of the history of technology we need to know not about what a few people invented, but about what everyday people used - and when they actually used things, if it was a long time after invention. It, therefore, reassesses the significance of, for example, the Pill and IT, and shows the continued importance of technology, such as corrugated iron and sewing machines. In taking this approach, "The Shock of the Old" challenges the idea that we live in an era of ever increasing change and so dismisses naivetes about 'the information age'. Interweaving political, economic and cultural history, it will show what it means to think critically about technology and its importance.
