This is one of the Historical Perspectives on Technology, Society, and Culture series. From an on-line posting: "Bob Post is a historian whose primary concerns lie at the intersection of technology and culture, in particular the politics of popular display and technology's animating passions. While pursuing his UCLA Ph.D. in the history of technology and science, he was employed by the Pacific Historical Review and was principal investigator for the Metropolitan Los Angeles History Project. After receiving his degree in 1973, for the next 23 years, moved through a succession of jobs at the Smithsonian: to senior editor for Smithsonian Books, senior curator in the Division of Transportation at the National Museum of American History (NMAH), and, finally, associate director of the Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation. Good. No dust jacket. Signed by author. Inscription signed by Bob on half-title. Cover has some wear and soiling. Artikel-Nr. 71101
