Technology and Global Change

Published by Cambridge University Press
ISBN 0 521 59109 0

This book describes how technology has shaped society and the environment over the last 200 years. It is the first book to give a comprehensive description of the causes and impacts of technological 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 – that makes this book required reading for all now looking to technology for environmental solutions: technologists, environmentalists, policy makers, and academics.

Written for specialists and nonspecialists alike, this book 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 the wider public interested in history, technology, or environmental issues.

The book can be ordered online from Amazon.co.uk, or from the Cambridge University Press Web site.
