Requirements: ePUB Reader, 36MB
Overview: In this bestselling book, James Burke examines the ideas, inventions, and coincidences that have culminated in the major technological advances of today. He untangles the pattern of interconnecting events, the accidents of time, circumstance, and place that gave rise to major inventions of the world. Says Burke, “My purpose is to acquaint the reader with some of the forces that have caused change in the past, looking in particular at eight innovations – the computer, the production line, telecommunications, the airplane, the atomic bomb, plastics, the guided rocket, and television – which may be most influential in structuring our own futures…. Each one of these is part of a family of similar devices, and is the result of a sequence of closely connected events extending from the ancient world until the present day. Each has enormous potential for humankind’s benefit or destruction.”
