Items related to Inventing the Modern World: Technology Since 1750
What are the objects, inventions, power sources and processes that have changed our modern industrial culture? Who are the individuals behind their creation? How have people reacted to these newfangled contraptions? This account explores the answers to these questions. It traces the sweeping innovations and interconnections of each advance, in a flowing text that features almost 500 photographs with captions that further explain the story of how we've become who we are today. Drawing on the museum collections represented by the Science & Society Picture Library, as well as the legendary resources of the Hulton Getty Picture Collection, this text explains in almost 500 images and vivid text the ever-changing relationship between technical change and industry, science and technology, and people and objects.
