| Summary: | "Electronics is a comprehensive account of the history of one of the late 20th century's greatest technologies - the field of electron devices. This is the first book to survey the histories of all these devices, showing how they relate to each other and to the world we live in." "This work will be accessible to those without a technical background, but is precise enough for an engineer. Ideal for students researching the interaction of technology and society, or the general reader with an interest in a particular technology, the Greenwood Technographics series tells the "life story" of the objects and technologies that have become so vital to our daily lives."--BOOK JACKET. |
