Taking Charge: The Electric Automobile in America
ISBN: 9781588340764 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The tumultuous history of inventors and corporations who have tried to bring the electric car to the market. Amazingly, in 1900 28 percent of all cars were electric. By 1920 the electric car had all but vanished and gas-powered cars dominated the market. In Taking Charge, Schiffer deftly explores how cultural factors, not technological ones, explain the rise of gas-guzzling cars. Schiffer brings the history of the electric car into the present, arguing that despite the Detroit Big Three's reluctance to make electric cars, their time has finally arrived.

Anthropological Perspectives on Technology
ISBN: 9780826350398 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) These fourteen original essays accept a dual premise: technology pervades and is embedded in all human activities. By taking that approach, studies of technology address two questions central in anthropological and archaeological research today-accounting for variability and change. These diverse yet interrelated chapters show that to understand human lives, researchers must deal with the material world that all peoples create and inhabit. Therefore an anthropology of technology is not a separate, discrete inquiry; instead, it is a way to connect how people make and use things to any activity...

The Material Life of Human Beings: Artifacts, Behavior and Communication
ISBN: 9780415200332 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this work, the anthropological theorist, Michael Brian Schiffer, presents a challenge to the social sciences. Through a broad range of examples, he demonstrates how theories of behaviour and communication have too often ignored the fundamental importance of objects in human life. In this work the author builds upon the premise that the most important feature of human life is not symbolic language but the incessant and diverse transactions which take place between people and myriad artefacts. The author shows that artefacts are involved in all modes of human communication - be they visual,...

Consuming Power : A Social History of American Energies
ISBN: 9780262640381 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) How did the United States become the world's largest consumer of energy? David Nye shows that this is less a question about the development of technology than it is a question about the development of culture. In Consuming Power, Nye uses energy as a touchstone to examine the lives of ordinary people engaged in normal activities. He looks at how these activities changed as new energy systems were constructed, from colonial times to recent years. He also shows how, as Americans incorporated new machines and processes into their lives, they became ensnared in power systems that were...
