Focusing on the design and implementation of computer-based automatic machine tools, David F. Noble challenges the idea that technology has a life of its own. Technology has been both a convenient scapegoat and a universal solution, serving to disarm critics, divert attention, depoliticize debate, and dismiss discussion of the fundamental antagonisms and inequalities that continue to beset America. This provocative study of the postwar automation of the American metal-working industry-the heart of a modern industrial economy-explains how dominant institutions like the great corporations,...

ISBN: 9780195040463 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 427 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Focusing on the postwar automation of the American metal-working industry--the heart of the modern industrial economy--this is a provocative study of how automation has assumed a critical role in America. David Noble argues that industrial automation--more than merely a technological advance--is a social process that reflects very real divisions and pressures within our society.

Using detailed case studies, Noble also demonstrates how engineering design is...

Debating the End of History : The Marketplace, Utopia, and the Fragmentation of Intellectual Life
ISBN: 9780816680580 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why do modern people assume that there will be perpetual economic growth? Because, David W. Noble tells us in this provocative study of cultural criticism, such a utopian conviction is the necessary foundation for bourgeois culture. One can imagine the existence of modern middle classes only as long as the capitalist marketplace is expanding. For Noble, the related--and relevant--question is, how can the middle classes believe that a finite earth is an environment in which infinite growth is possible? The answer, which Noble so painstakingly charts, is nothing less than a genealogy of the... Why do modern people assume that there will be perpetual economic growth? Because, David W.

ISBN: 9780140279160 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Are religion and science really at war with one another? Not according to David F. Noble, who argues that the flourishing of both religion and technology today is nothing new but rather the continuation of a 1,000-year-old Western tradition.
The Religion of Technology demonstrates that modern man's enchantment with things technological was inspired by and grounded in religious expectations and the quest for transcendence and salvation. The two early impulses behind the urge to advance in science, he claims, are the conviction that apocalypse is imminent, and the belief that...

Death of a Nation: American Culture and the End of Exceptionalism
ISBN: 9780816640812 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the 1940s, American thought experienced a cataclysmic paradigm shift. Before then, national ideology was shaped by American exceptionalism and bourgeois nationalism: elites saw themselves as the children of a homogeneous nation standing outside the history and culture of the Old World. This view repressed the cultures of those who did not fit the elite vision: people of color, Catholics, Jews, and immigrants. David W. Noble, a preeminent figure in American studies, inherited this ideology. However, like many who entered the field in the 1940s, he rejected the ideals of his intellectual...

ISBN: 9780521239950 / Angielski / Twarda / 1982 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While many scholars have been interested in the size of the Indian population of the Americas at the time of first contact with Europeans, this book, first published in 1982, was the first to make a thorough examination of the question. Focusing on Peru, Professor Cook estimates population size on the basis of archaeology, carrying capacity of the agricultural systems, disease mortality, depopulation ratios, and census projection. He also analyses the catastrophic population decline that resulted from contact with Europeans, and compares this experience with that of the coastal region and the...

Born to Die: Disease and New World Conquest, 1492-1650
ISBN: 9780521627306 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Noble David Cook explains, in vivid detail and sweeping scope, how the conquest of the New World was achieved by a handful of Europeans--not by the sword, but by deadly disease. The Aztec and Inca empires with their teeming millions were destroyed by a few hundred Europeans whose most important weapons, though the conquerors did not realize it at the time, were diseases previously unknown in the Americas. The end result of the colonizing experience in the Americas, whether of the Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish, English, or French, was the collapse of native society.

People of the Volcano: Andean Counterpoint in the Colca Valley of Peru
ISBN: 9780822339717 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. While it now attracts many tourists, the Colca Valley of Peru's southern Andes was largely isolated from the outside world until the 1970s, when a passable road was built linking the valley--and its colonial churches, terraced hillsides, and deep canyon--to the city of Arequipa and its airport, eight hours away. Noble David Cook and his co-researcher Alexandra Parma Cook have been studying the Colca Valley since 1974, and this detailed ethnohistory reflects their decades-long engagement with the valley, its history, and its people. Drawing on unusually rich surviving documentary evidence,...
