520 1 $a"In Masterworks of Technology, E.E. Lewis traces steps along the path to our modern technological sophistication. Lewis's many years in the engineering field have given him a clear, authoritative perspective on the highlights of technological progress through the ages. Melding his own personal experiences - from visiting the cathedral in Chartres, France, to flying aboard a Boeing 777 - with historical vignettes, the author demonstrates the importance of the craft tradition, scientific method, production organization, economics, and more to the creation of modern technology."--Jacket.
