Zustand: Gut. 244 S. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - This history of inventions and discoveries (cQntaining almosf 4,000 entries) is arranged in an unusual and fascinating manner - chronologically. It enables readers and researchers noi just to find out what was being invented in a particular year or decade (the year of their birth, perhaps, or the period about which they arc writing)) but to observe the onward sweep of invention from the first flint arrowhead to the comèt-intercepting spacecraft. The accelerating pace of invention and discovery is awesome. It took man 1750 years from the year 1 AD to double his technological knowledge, but doubling it a second time took only 150 years, and doubling it again only 50. During each of the last two decades, man's , technological knowledge has quadrupled. This terrifying (or exhilarating) onrush of invention in our time is owing, in the large part , to the practical usé of computers as produced from the 1940s. The Harwin Chronology makes clear how the pace of invention has speeded up: at the start of the book a decade may well contain only one invention (the wheelbarrow in China in 231, for -, example); later on, by 1982, there are two pages of inventions for that year alone-üncluding the electronic typewriter, in Japan). The chronology provides an original and indispensable reference book, and is illustrated with charming-woodcuts and engravings.
