Download or read book Technikgeschichte written by Wolfgang König and published by Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GmbH. This book was released on 2010 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kaum etwas pragt unser Leben so sehr wie die Technik". Dieses Diktum des Philosophen Hans Poser steht in scharfem Gegensatz zur marginalen Beachtung, welche die Technik in der traditionellen Geschichtswissenschaft gefunden hat. Nur wenige bekannte Historiker wie Karl Lamprecht und Franz Schnabel bildeten hierbei eine Ausnahme. Andere wie Jorn Rusen und Reinhard Rurup verwiesen auf den Stellenwert der Technik fur die geschichtliche Entwicklung. Daneben entstand eine zunachst von Ingenieuren, dann von Historikern getragene Disziplin "Technikgeschichte". Die hier versammelten "Basistexte" dokumentieren die Entwicklung der Technikgeschichte von einem ingenieurwissenschaftlichen zu einem historischen Fach und bieten einen Uberblick uber ihre zentralen Fragestellungen.
Download or read book The Industrial Revolution in Iron written by Chris Evans and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume, each written by an acknowledged expert in the field, trace the fortunes of British coal technology as it spread across the European continent, from Sweden and Russia to the Alps and Spain, and supply an authoritative picture of industrial transformation in one of the key industries of the 19th century. In this period iron making in continental Europe was transformed by the take-up of technologies such as coke smelting and iron puddling that had already revolutionised the British iron industry. The transfer of British technologies was fundamental to European industrialisation, but that transfer was not straightforward. The techniques that had proved so successful in Britain had to be adapted to local circumstances elsewhere, for charcoal-fired techniques proved surprisingly durable. More often than not, as these studies show, coal-fired methods were incorporated into traditional production systems, making for the proliferation of technological hybrids. Overall, it is diversity that stands out. Some European regions (southern Belgium) came near to the British model; others (Spain) persisted with charcoal technology into the late 19th century. Some countries (Sweden) adopted British organisational principles but not the reliance on coal; others (Russia) maintained different iron making sectors - one coal-based, the other loyal to charcoal - in parallel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Autoren stellen die Technikgeschichte als wissenschaftliche Disziplin vor. Sie analysieren deren Entwicklung über einen Zeitraum von 500 Jahren. Dabei erläutern sie deren Forschungsschwerpunkte ebenso wie die divergierenden Konzepte des Technikbegriffs und die Kontroversen um bzw. die Methoden der Technikhistoriographie. Darüber hinaus werden technikgeschichtliche Interpretationsansätze zu den gesellschaftlichen Diskursen über Technikzukünfte präsentiert und Museen als Orte der Auseinandersetzung um die Deutung der sozio-technischen Vergangenheit vorgestellt. Im besonderen Maße geht dieses Lehrbuch im Sinne eines "usable past" auf die Bedeutung des Faches Technikgeschichte für die Notwendigkeit einer historischen Fundierung des aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Diskurses über den Weg in eine Zukunft ein, der sowohl von ökonomischer, politischer und ökologischer Nachhaltigkeit geprägt ist.

The sourcebook presents 150 ancient authors and a diverse range of literary genres, such as, the encyclopedic Natural Histories of Pliny the Elder, the poetry of Homer and Hesiod, the philosophy of Plato, Aristotle and Lucretius and the agricultural treatise of Varro. Humphrey, Oleson and Sherwood provide a comprehensive and accessible collection of rich and varied sources to illustrate and elucidate the beginnings of technology. Glossaries of technological terminology, indices of authors and subjects, introductions outlining the general significance of the evidence, notes to explain the specific details, and a recent bibliography make this volume a valuable research and teaching tool.
Download or read book Dam Internationalism written by Vincent Lagendijk and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-07-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 20th century dam-building became a truly global endeavour. Built around the world, they generated networks of actors, institutions and companies embedded in globally circulating technological knowledge and discourses of modernization and development. This volume takes a global approach to the history of dams, exploring the complex power relations and internationalist entanglements that shaped them. Shedding new light on the globalization of technology and international power struggles that defined the 20th century, Dam Internationalism shows that dams are artefacts in their own right and have created new and revisionist histories that urge us to rethink classic narratives. From international cooperation, to the importance of the Cold War and the capitalist/socialist divide, the success of western technology, the prominence of the United States, the alleged impotence of people affected by dams, and the uniformity of infrastructure. Each chapter showcases a different case study from Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America to show that dams enabled marginalized countries and actors to articulate themselves and pursue their own political and socio-economic goals in a century dominated by the Global North.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume contains a comprehensive and problem-oriented presentation of ancient Greek mathematics from Thales to Proklos Diadochos. Exemplarily, a cross-section of Greek mathematics is offered, whereby also such works of scientists are appreciated in detail, of which no German translation is available. Numerous illustrations and the inclusion of the cultural, political and literary environment provide a great spectrum of the history of mathematical science and a real treasure trove for those seeking biographical and contemporary background knowledge or suggestions for lessons or lectures. The presentation is up-to-date and realizes tendencies of recent historiography. In the new edition, the central chapters on Plato, Aristotle and Alexandria have been updated. The explanations of Greek calculus, mathematical geography and mathematics of the early Middle Ages have been expanded and show new points of view. A completely new addition is a unique illustrated account of Roman mathematics. Also newly included are several color illustrations that successfully illustrate the book's subject matter. With more than 280 images, this volume represents a richly illustrated history book on ancient mathematics.
Download or read book Bringing in the Sheaves written by Brent D. Shaw and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The annual harvesting of cereal crops was one of the most important economic tasks in the Roman Empire. Not only was it urgent and critical for the survival of state and society, it mobilized huge numbers of men and women every year from across the whole face of the Mediterranean. In Bringing in the Sheaves, Brent D. Shaw investigates the ways in which human labour interacted with the instruments of harvesting, what part the workers and their tools had in the whole economy, and how the work itself was organized. Both collective and individual aspects of the story are investigated, centred on the life-story of a single reaper whose work in the wheat fields of North Africa is documented in his funerary epitaph. The narrative then proceeds to an analysis of the ways in which this cyclical human behaviour formed and influenced modes of thinking about matters beyond the harvest. The work features an edition of the reaper inscription, and a commentary on it. It is also lavishly illustrated to demonstrate the important iconic and pictorial dimensions of the story.
