Most general histories of technology are Eurocentrist, focusing on a main line of Western technology that stretches from the Greeks is through the computer. In this very different book, Arnold Pacey takes a global view, placing the development of technology squarely in a world civilization. He portrays the process as a complex dialectic by which inventions borrowed from one culture are adopted to suit another.
