Editorial Reviews

Review

This historical account achieves its basic aim of demonstrating that, with the exception of quite recent history, technology has always influenced science, not the other way round.

(Nature)

If I could attach bells and whistles and flashing lights to this review I would do so because McClellan and Dorn's book deserves to be brought to the attention of all professional historians―and indeed the general reading public―by any means necessary.

(Canadian Journal of History/Annales canadiennes d'histoire)

Inclusive and straightforward.

(Technology and Culture)

This is one of few books that tackle both the history of science and the history of technology, and most notably presents them in a global context.

(Suzanne Moon, Colorado School of Mines)

This unusual work enables students to understand some large-scale patterns in history and the ways in which investigations into nature fit into those patterns.

(Barbara J. Reeves, Virginia Tech)

About the Author

James E. McClellan III is professor of the history of science and Harold Dorn is professor emeritus of the history of science and technology at the Stevens Institute of Technology.
