The Invisible Weapon: Telecommunications and International Politics, 1851-1945
ISBN: 9780195062731 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A vital instrument of power, telecommunications is and has always been a political technology. In this book, Headrick examines the political history of telecommunications from the mid-nineteenth century to the end of World War II. He argues that this technology gave society new options. In times of peace, the telegraph and radio were, as many predicted, instruments of peace; in times of tension, they became instruments of politics, tools for rival interests, and weapons of war. Writing in a lively, accessible style, Headrick illuminates the political aspects of information technology, showing...

Power Over Peoples: Technology, Environments, and Western Imperialism, 1400 to the Present
ISBN: 9780691154329 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. For six hundred years, the nations of Europe and North America have periodically attempted to coerce, invade, or conquer other societies. They have relied on their superior technology to do so, yet these technologies have not always guaranteed success. Power over Peoples examines Western imperialism's complex relationship with technology, from the first Portuguese ships that ventured down the coast of Africa in the 1430s to America's conflicts in the Middle East today. Why did the sailing vessels that gave the Portuguese a century-long advantage in the Indian Ocean fail...

When Information Came of Age: Technologies of Knowledge in the Age of Reason and Revolution, 1700-1850
ISBN: 9780195153736 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although the Information Age is often described as a new era, a cultural leap springing directly from the invention of modern computers, it is simply the latest step in a long cultural process. Its conceptual roots stretch back to the profound changes that occurred during the Age of Reason and Revolution. When Information Came of Age argues that the key to the present era lies in understanding the systems developed in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to gather, store, transform, display, and communicate information. The book provides a concise and readable survey of...

The Tentacles of Progress: Technology Transfer in the Age of Imperialism, 1850-1940
ISBN: 9780195051162 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Daniel Headrick, author of Tools of Empire, examines why the massive transfer of Western technology to European colonies did not spark an industrial revolution in those countries. Rather than spurring economic progress, he argues, the transfer of stock technology between 1850 and 1940 caused the traditional self-sufficient economies of the colonial regions to become mired in a state of underdevelopment, a legacy which burdens these countries to this day.
