Beschreibung:
David E. Nye is professor of American history and chair of the Center for American Studies at Odense University in Denmark. He is author of eight books, including American Technological Sublime and Electrifying America, which won the Dexter Prize and the Abel Woolman Award.
TECHNOLOGY and landscape have long been understood as inherently antagonistic concepts, reflective of the encroachments of civilization on the natural world. Yet as the essays in this volume make clear, the tension between culture and nature is more apparent than real. Even in preindustrial societies, where the dominant technologies are agricultural, it would be impossible to envision a landscape unshaped by human contact.
