Description
A Short History of Technology: From the Earliest Times to A.D. 1900Until the publication of this book, historians had largely neglected the effects of technology on the course of human history. Political, economic, and social factors had long been taken into account, but technological advances were not studied in the context of the history of the ages in which they occurred. It remained for the authors of this readable, profusely illustrated survey to relate technological developments to the history of each epoch.
Until the publication of this book, historians had largely neglected the effects of technology on the course of human history. Political, economic, and social factors had long been taken into account, but technological advances were not studied in the context of the history of the ages in which they occurred. It remained for the authors of this readable, profusely illustrated survey to relate technological developments to the history of each epoch.Chronologically, the text is divided into two parts, the first telling the story up to ca. A.D. 1750 -- the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in Britain -- and the second continuing it up to 1900. The book begins with a general historical survey of ancient civilizations, then goes on to consider such topics as food production, metalworking, building construction, early sources of power, and the beginning of the chemical industry. The second and lengthier portion of the text focuses on the development of the steam engine, machine tools, modern transport, mining coal and metals, the rise of the modern chemical industry, textiles, the internal combustion engine, electricity, and more.
To help relate the technology to the age, each section is preceded by a historical introduction and the book concludes with a series of tables designed to show the interrelation of events names in the text. Profusely illustrated and brimming with factual data, A Short History of Technology will appeal equally to students, scholars, historians of technology, and general readers.

They are very nice.
I was pleasantly suprized at how they look. They are very pretty. If I bought them in a nice store I'm positive they would have cost me at least double.
One of my Granddaughters who is 14 going on 20 recently got her ears pierced. These will be a perfect size for her, with an added touch of class that only a cool Grandma can give.

Beautiful earrings that work fantastically with multiple earlobe piercings
I was looking for smaller cute studs in garnet and these are amazing. I have four “regular” piercings going up my earlobes on each side into my cartilage so I prefer to have stud earrings that are small enough to not overlap and crowd, but also be super cute, and these did really well. Despite the size you could still clearly tell they were butterflies and marquise cut gemstones. Because they’re garnets and the marquise cut is slightly shallow for earring purposes, they’re not that DEEP red color people associate with a garnet, but they’re clearly garnets and the slightly brownish tinge from the shallower cuts actually set off my (dyed) red hair beautifully. If you’re more to chestnut brown or redheaded, it’ll probably work in your favor as well. Overall I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a good pair of beautiful and playful gemstone earrings, and heavily recommend them for any adult with more than two lobe piercings that wants to do more than just plain gemstone round studs.
