ISBN: 9780156215503 / Angielski / Miękka / 1973 / 467 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This is the third volume in Lewis Mumford's superb "Renewal of Life" series, which also contains Technics and Civilazation, The Culture of Cities, and The Conduct of Life. The present book explores the historic development of the personality and the community. Ranging from ancient Greece to our own century, the author takes Western man over the ground of his past, singles out events that have done him injury, and reveals his latent sources of creative action, too long thrust aside in an age that depends for salvation on the machine.

ISBN: 9780226550275 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Technics and Civilization first presented its compelling history of the machine and critical study of its effects on civilization in 1934 before television, the personal computer, and the Internet even appeared on our periphery. Drawing upon art, science, philosophy, and the history of culture, Lewis Mumford explained the origin of the machine age and traced its social results, asserting that the development of modern technology had its roots in the Middle Ages rather than the Industrial Revolution. Mumford sagely argued that it was the moral, economic, and political choices...

ISBN: 9789024711932 / Angielski / Miękka / 1972 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych.

Seven years later he was the only nonscientist represented in the even more selective Ciba Foundation conference on Man and his Future. Though Glikson attended many other important...
