Technology and Global Change (Paperback, New Ed)

Technology has changed the world at an ever increasing rate, making possible humanity's shift from the farm to the factory to the Internet. While technology has eliminated many problems, it has added others. Technology and Global Change is the first book to give a comprehensive description of the causes and impacts of technological change and how they relate to global environmental change. It organizes history into a sequence of technology clusters, each with its distinctive environmental "footprint". The result is a new, original explanation of change--illustrated with innumerable quantitative examples, data, and graphics. Written for specialists and nonspecialists alike, it will be useful for researchers and professors, as a textbook for graduate students, for people engaged in long-term policy planning in industry and government, for environmental activists, and for all those interested in history, technology, or environmental issues.
