About this title

Synopsis

Traces the history of technology from the invention of the wheel through the latest scientific and technological advances

From Library Journal

Organized chronologically, beginning with the appearance of Homo habilis in 2,400,000 B.C. and concluding with a robotics-based ocean probe in Antarctica in 1993, this is a well-designed and comprehensive overview of technological developments. The major categories change over time from General, Agricultural/Construction, Communications/ Transportation, Food & Agriculture, and Tools/Materials to General, Communications, Electronics & Computers, Energy, Food & Shelter, Materials, Medical Technology, Tools & Devices, and Transportation, reflecting the development and increasing importance of new technologies. There are introductory textual sections, substantial annotations of points of interest, and extensive indexes. A companion to The Timetables of Science (S. & S., 1991), this is a useful reference tool for popular science collections.
