This is an investigation of the relationships between global culture and technology. The range of subjects to which Don Idhe applies his skill as a phenomenologist is unified by what he describes as ""a concern which arises with respect to one of the now major trends of Euro-American philosophy - its textism"". Idhe displays a vast knowledge of subject areas as varied as the history of mapping and navigation, NASA statistical information, technology transfer data, and contemporary trends in the philosophy of science, enabling hm to make insightful and innovative connections between topics.
