Now in its second edition, this bestselling textbook may be the single most influential study of the historical relationship between science and technology ever published. Tracing this relationship from the dawn of civilization through the twentieth century, James E. McClellan III and Harold Dorn argue that technology as "applied science" emerged relatively recently, as industry and governments began funding scientific research that would lead directly to new or improved technologies. McClellan and Dorn identify two great scientific traditions: the useful sciences, patronized by the state from the dawn of civilization, and scientific theorizing, initiated by the ancient Greeks. They find that scientific traditions took root in China, India, and Central and South America, as well as in a series of Near Eastern empires, during late antiquity and the Middle Ages. From this comparative perspective, the authors explore the emergence of Europe and the United States as a scientific and technological power. The new edition reorganizes its treatment of Greek science and significantly expands its coverage of industrial civilization and contemporary science and technology with new and revised chapters devoted to applied science, the sociology and economics of science, globalization, and the technological systems that underpin everyday life.
不要将思维僵化在流行观点中。事实上流行观点不过是诸种解释中的一种而已,其实这也不是问题。问题在于,流行观点往往是通过简单化、教条化,然后再大力宣传而成的。而实际的世界往往丰富的多、甚至有趣的多。本书描述的科学与技术之间的关系就给我们提供了一个活生生的例子...
評分:),先看了此书部分,再看科学的历程,接着再看此书,感觉此书比科学的历程好看,科学的历程只是简单的事实的罗列,几乎很少有作者的观点!看了就是一大堆事实,很乱的感觉!…… 另外这书翻译的不错,:)
