Download or read book Human-Built World written by Thomas P. Hughes and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2005-05-13 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To most people, technology has been reduced to computers, consumer goods, and military weapons; we speak of "technological progress" in terms of RAM and CD-ROMs and the flatness of our television screens. In Human-Built World, thankfully, Thomas Hughes restores to technology the conceptual richness and depth it deserves by chronicling the ideas about technology expressed by influential Western thinkers who not only understood its multifaceted character but who also explored its creative potential. Hughes draws on an enormous range of literature, art, and architecture to explore what technology has brought to society and culture, and to explain how we might begin to develop an "ecotechnology" that works with, not against, ecological systems. From the "Creator" model of development of the sixteenth century to the "big science" of the 1940s and 1950s to the architecture of Frank Gehry, Hughes nimbly charts the myriad ways that technology has been woven into the social and cultural fabric of different eras and the promises and problems it has offered. Thomas Jefferson, for instance, optimistically hoped that technology could be combined with nature to create an Edenic environment; Lewis Mumford, two centuries later, warned of the increasing mechanization of American life. Such divergent views, Hughes shows, have existed side by side, demonstrating the fundamental idea that "in its variety, technology is full of contradictions, laden with human folly, saved by occasional benign deeds, and rich with unintended consequences." In Human-Built World, he offers the highly engaging history of these contradictions, follies, and consequences, a history that resurrects technology, rightfully, as more than gadgetry; it is in fact no less than an embodiment of human values.

Download or read book Anecdotage written by Thomas L. Hughes and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-01-23 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book a former Assistant Secretary of State and Washington insider recalls the lighter moments of a lifetime in politics, diplomacy, intelligence and the foundation world. Based on personal notes jotted down during his official assignments in the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations, and subsequently in the non-governmental universe in Washington, this lively book recounts conversations and episodes of high humor involving American presidents and other leading national figures from the 1950s to the 1980s. Major events, no matter how serious were often laced with humor, even farce. Some of these stories offer rare glimpses into American presidential and political history. Many are hilarious accounts of diplomatic and bureaucratic foibles at home and abroad. Others are tales of rare encounters simply too amusing to lose. Over several decades, the author's choice assignments in Washington gave him unusual opportunities to experience the lighter side of famous Presidents and their advisers. The grander settings range from the White House to the State Department, and from Capitol Hill to Embassy Row. Insightful glimpses of Lyndon Johnson, John F. Kennedy, Adlai Stevenson and Hubert Humphrey begin with the author's service in the United States Senate in the 1950s. A sub-cabinet role in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations provided opportunities to know and work with Dean Rusk, Chester Bowles, Robert McNamara, Robert F. Kennedy, Clark Clifford, Averell Harriman, McGeorge Bundy, Richard Helms and John McCone, not to speak of Allen Dulles and J. Edgar Hoover. Later an assignment as deputy ambassador in the American Embassy in London, provided a rich round of amusing anecdotes on Anglo-American relations. as well as colorful insights on Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, and Ronald Reagan Over the years, official and unofficial assignments took the author all around the world. Encounters abound with such diverse celebrities as Josip Broz Tito, Indira Gandhi, Douglas MacArthur, Munoz Marin, David Bruce, Queen Elizabeth, Fidel Castro, Helmut Schmidt, Lady Astor, Deng Xiaoping, Clare Booth Luce, Richard Holbrooke, and the former German royal family. There are abundant accounts of diplomatic, congressional, and bureaucratic horseplay. This is a book not to be missed for and about Washington insiders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The authors are the originators of isogeometric analysis, are excellent scientists and good educators. It is very original. There is no other book on this topic.” —René de Borst, Eindhoven University of Technology Written by leading experts in the field and featuring fully integrated colour throughout, Isogeometric Analysis provides a groundbreaking solution for the integration of CAD and FEA technologies. Tom Hughes and his researchers, Austin Cottrell and Yuri Bazilevs, present their pioneering isogeometric approach, which aims to integrate the two techniques of CAD and FEA using precise NURBS geometry in the FEA application. This technology offers the potential to revolutionise automobile, ship and airplane design and analysis by allowing models to be designed, tested and adjusted in one integrative stage. Providing a systematic approach to the topic, the authors begin with a tutorial introducing the foundations of Isogeometric Analysis, before advancing to a comprehensive coverage of the most recent developments in the technique. The authors offer a clear explanation as to how to add isogeometric capabilities to existing finite element computer programs, demonstrating how to implement and use the technology. Detailed programming examples and datasets are included to impart a thorough knowledge and understanding of the material. Provides examples of different applications, showing the reader how to implement isogeometric models Addresses readers on both sides of the CAD/FEA divide Describes Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) basis functions

Download or read book Technologies of Power written by Michael Thad Allen and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2001-05-25 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection explores how technologies become forms of power, how people embed their authority in technological systems, and how the machines and the knowledge that make up technical systems strengthen or reshape social, political, and cultural power. The authors suggest ways in which a more nuanced investigation of technology's complex history can enrich our understanding of the changing meanings of modernity. They consider the relationship among the state, expertise, and authority; the construction of national identity; changes in the structure and distribution of labor; political ideology and industrial development; and political practices during the Cold War. The essays show how insight into the technological aspects of such broad processes can help synthesize material and cultural methods of inquiry and how reframing technology's past in broader historical terms can suggest new directions for science and technology studies.The essays were written in honor of Thomas Parke Hughes and Agatha Chipley Hughes, whose spirit of inquiry they seek to continue.
