Author Description

A History of Technology occupies so important a place in the public mind as the definitive work on technology - and it is so fundamental to the scholar in the new and burgeoning field - that is is not surprising that it was deemed worthy of the full-scale review occupying an entire issue of Technology and Culture. Volume 6 (part 1) and 7 (part 2) covers the time period of the twentieth-century c. 1900 to c.1950. Charles Joseph Singer (1876 - 1960) was a British historian of science, technology, and medicine.
