Science and technology are central to history of the United States,
and this is true of the Colonial period as well. Although
considered by Europeans as a backwater, the people living in the
American colonies had advanced notions of agriculture, surveying,
architecture, and other technologies. In areas of "natural
philosophy"--what we call science--such figures as Benjamin
Franklin were admired and respected in the scientific capitals of
Europe. This book covers all aspects of how science and technology
impacted the everyday life of Americans of all classes and
cultures. Science and Technology in Everyday Life in Colonial
America covers a wide range of topics that will interest students
of American history and the history of science and technology: *
Domestic technology--how colonial women devised new strategies for
day-to-day survival * Agricultural--how Native Americans and
African slaves influenced the development of a American system of
agriculture * War--how the frequent battles during the colonial
period changed how industry made consumer goods This volume
includes myriad examples of the impact science and technology had
on the lives of individual who lived in the New World.
