Technology and Choice 2nd edition

Jacket Description/Back: Innovation-- the imaginative attempt to introduce something new or to solve some problem-- smashes routine and demands choice, even if only the choice to retain the status quo. This collection of fourteen essays provides a spectrum of historical perspectives on how, when, or why individuals, societies, governments, and industries have made choices regarding the use of technologies.
