Around 22 sections cover the entire field of the history of
technology, and have been contributed by a team of international
experts. Each section has been designed to summarize the
development of its subject from the earliest times to the present
day, and is written so as to stand as an independent section, while
also forming an integral part of the story of Man's efforts to
harness the forces of Nature to his own ends. The text of each
section forms a continuous narrative, with major inventions and
developments being introduced and explained in sub-sections. The
authors have throughout laid stress on the relation of their
subjects to the social context of the times, as well as showing
their interrelation with contemporary scientific thought and
developments. Likewise the continuity of history is emphasised by
the extensive time-scale, taking the reader "from Stone Age to
Space Age".
