<i>'As with any edited collection, the question should be asked: is the sum greater than the separate parts? In this case, the answer is in the affirmative. Many of the chapters are usefully cross-referenced and there is substantial evidence of editorial guidance. There can be little doubt that the empirical material will grace many an undergraduate essay, whilst the more reflective chapters provide essential points of reference for more mature scholars.'</i>

This major new book contains contributions by many of the leading historians of technology. The contributors argue that culture, institutions and learning either made the way for, or blocked technological and industrial transformation. Their essays include broad comparative frameworks between Europe and Asia, and Europe and America, and examine the specific experiences of Britain, France, Holland, Germany and Scandinavia. Themes addressed include cultures of invention and the learning economy, technological inertia and path dependence, patents and product innovation, and technology, institutions and boundaries.
