Description:
For over four decades, Leo Marx's work has focused on the relationship between technology and culture in 19th- and 20th-century America. His research helped to define the area of American Studies concerned with the connections between scientific and technological advances, and the way society and culture both shape these changes. The Machine in the Garden examines the difference between the "pastoral" and "progressive" ideals that characterized early 19th-century American culture, and that ultimately became the basis for much of the environmental and nuclear debates of contemporary society. This special edition celebrates the thirty-fifth anniversary of Marx's classic text, and features a new afterword by the author on the process of writing this book.
