Viac o knihe
Karz looks at many "tales of technology's role in the human quest for knowledge and power. Wielding the historical record like an archaeologist's pick, Katz excavates a field spanning five thousand years and stretching from the Tower of Babel to the Eiffel Tower. Readers will encounter skeptics and visionaries, metalsmiths and magicians, as Katz sifts through fragments of shattered texts, unearths bones of contention, and reconstructs the attitudes with which the art of practical invention has contended throughout history." (excerpt from backcover copy)
