Reseña del libro "Industrialization, Technology, and Sustainability: A World History Reader (en Inglés)"
Written by prominent scholars in their respective fields, the collected essays in Industrialization, Technology, and Sustainability: A World History Reader provide a big-picture view of modern world history by focusing on specific themes of particular relevance in contemporary society. Students become familiar with major problems and major possibilities in energy use, pollution, technological advancement, and more. The first section of the text features essays that address the move to modernity. Section Two examines industrialization, while Section Three explains how sound, thought, and image became connected through a process of technological advancement. In Section Four the readings explore connections between people and things through writings on the railroads, automobiles, and space exploration. The final section is devoted to the future consequences and possibilities of global industrialization. Industrialization, Technology, and Sustainability unites a broad range of current topics and gives them a single, coherent, relevant narrative. It is well-suited to courses in modern world history and civilization, and also makes an excellent supplemental reader for classes on globalization and the history of technology. J.
