Sourcebooks in Modern Technology

Imprint: Greenwood Press

Although technology has helped shape modern society, few people understand the working of advanced technologies, such as robotics or nuclear science. Fewer still realize how such technologies influence our society and culture. The Sourcebooks in Modern Technology series provides nonspecialists with a one-stop introduction to these advanced technologies. Accessible and current, each volume provides readers with an understanding of how a particular technology works, how its continuing inventions and refinements affect the world, and what its future may hold. Each illustrated volume includes:

A history of the technology

A discussion of current theories and developments

A chronology of key events

Profiles of influential individuals and organizations

A clear description of how the technology works

A discussion of key social and scientific issues raised by the technology

An assessment of likely future developments

A glossary of commonly used technical terms

A selection of useful information resources in both print and electronic forms.
