Download or read book "Backsights" written by Ann Brush Miller and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first of two volumes of a project to compile, convert to electronic format, and index the "Backsights" series of essays on Virginia transportation history. Between 1972 and 2007, these essays, by various authors, periodically appeared in various publications of the Virginia Department of Transportation, originally in the Bulletin and subsequently in the newsletter of the Virginia Transportation Technology Transfer Center. The essays will be presented in two volumes: Volume I, the current volume, includes all the articles in the initial series (1972-1985); Volume II will include all the articles in the second series (2000 to 2007). These articles cover a wide range of subject matter, from topics specific to Virginia transportation through the years to articles that place Virginia transportation in a national and international context. The topics are as diverse as short biographies of pioneering road and bridge builders; major early highways in Virginia; the role of women in 18th and 19th century transportation; early road and bridge specifications and building practices; the growth of railroads; the evolution of public transportation in Virginia; the varying experiences of travelers throughout Virginia's history; the rise of the automobile age; the history of taverns in Virginia; and transportation-related historic preservation and cultural resource issues. Although the majority of these articles are long out of print, copies have been regularly requested and utilized by historical and cultural resource researchers, as well as by members of the general public. The requests for specific articles, as well as for information on early roads, turnpikes, canals, etc., have demonstrated the need for this compilation. These volumes will provide direct electronic access to all of the "Backsights" essays from the inception of the series in 1972 through 2007, along with a comprehensive index for each volume. These essays are utilized by VDOT environmental and cultural resource personnel, as well as by transportation historians, academic and professional historical and cultural resource researchers, and interested members of the public.

Book excerpt: Technology and American History explores the technological dimension of American life from the birth of American industry in the late eighteenth century to the massive industrial systems of the late twentieth century.

Individual essays explore the importance of textile manufacturing in American industrialization, the role of the federal government in regulating new modes of transport, the development of interchangeable parts in production, the process of innovation, the notion of technological systems, and the relationship between technological change and work in the factory, on the farm, and in the home.

Book Synopsis Early American Technology by : Judith A. McGaw
Download or read book Early American Technology written by Judith A. McGaw and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of original essays documents technology's centrality to the history of early America. Unlike much previous scholarship, this volume emphasizes the quotidian rather than the exceptional: the farm household seeking to preserve food or acquire tools, the surveyor balancing economic and technical considerations while laying out a turnpike, the woman of child-bearing age employing herbal contraceptives, and the neighbors of a polluted urban stream debating issues of property, odor, and health. These cases and others drawn from brewing, mining, farming, and woodworking enable the authors to address recent historiographic concerns, including the environmental aspects of technological change and the gendered nature of technical knowledge. Brooke Hindle's classic 1966 essay on early American technology is also reprinted, and his view of the field is reassessed. A bibliographical essay and summary of Hindle's bibliographic findings conclude the volume. The contributors are Judith A. McGaw, Robert C. Post, Susan E. Klepp, Michal McMahon, Patrick W. O'Bannon, Sarah F. McMahon, Donald C. Jackson, Robert B. Gordon, Carolyn C. Cooper, and Nina E. Lerman.
Book Synopsis Technologies of Power by : Michael Thad Allen
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. Contributors Janet Abbate, Michael Thad Allen, W. Bernard Carlson, Gabrielle Hecht, Erik P. Rau, Eric Schatzberg, Amy Slaton, John Staudenmaier, Edmund N. Todd, Hans Weinberger
