PDF-[EBOOK]-Creating the Twentieth Century: Technical Innovations of 1867-1914 and Their Lasting

The period between 1867 and 1914 remains the greatest watershed in human history since the emergence of settled agricultural societies the time when an expansive civilization based on synergy of fuels science and technical innovation was born At its beginnings in the 1870s were dynamite the telephone photographic film and the first light bulbs Its peak decade the astonishing 1880s brought electricity generating plants electric motors steam turbines the gramophone cars aluminum production airfilled rubber tires and prestressed concrete And its post1900 period saw the first airplanes tractors radio signals and plastics neon lights and assembly line production This book is a systematic interdisciplinary account of the history of this outpouring of European and American intellect and of its truly epochal consequences It takes a close look at four fundamental classes of these epochmaking innovations formation diffusion and standardization of electricsystems invention and rapid adoption of internal combustion engines the unprecedented pace of new chemical syntheses and material substitutions and the birth of a new information age These chapters are followed by an evaluation of the lasting impact these advances had on the 20th century that is the creation of highenergy societies engaged in mass production aimed at improving standards of living. in Bridge Components. . .

Embedded in this history are tensions between scientific and liberal arts knowledge-making that render technical writing both the genuine and counterfeit coin of scientific knowledge within our culture. When scientific knowledge is made by scientists and engineers, it can circulate as genuine currency in an economy where communication makes knowledge. When scientific knowledge is made by liberal-arts trained technical writers, however, it circulates as spurious currency and threatens the purity of the knowledge economy. Because the stability of the scientific knowledge economy is at stake, scientists and technical writers often find themselves at odds over the value of scientific knowledge minted by non-scientists.Longo constructs this cultural history around a framework of five intellectual trends: the use of clear, correct English maximum efficiency of production and operation the need to contribute to a general fund of scientific knowledge for the betterment of the human condition the tension between the role of science and art within a culture and a redemptive urge to purify language and standardize practice. She also explores the role of mechanical engineers in designing management systems which rely on technical writing to control operations and profits. The period between 1867 and 1914 remains the greatest watershed in human history since the emergence of settled agricultural societies: the time when an expansive civilization based on synergy of fuels, science, and technical innovation was born. At its beginnings in the 1870s were dynamite, the telephone, photographic film, and the first light bulbs. Its peak decade - the astonishing 1880s - brought electricity - generating plants, electric motors, steam turbines, the gramophone, cars, aluminum production, air-filled rubber tires, and prestressed concrete. And its post-1900 period saw the first airplanes, tractors, radio signals and plastics, neon lights and assembly line production. This book is a systematic interdisciplinary account of the history of this outpouring of European and American intellect and of its truly epochal consequences. It takes a close look at four fundamental classes of these epoch-making innovations: formation, diffusion, and standardization of electricsystems invention and rapid adoption of internal combustion engines the unprecedented pace of new chemical syntheses and material substitutions and the birth of a new information age. These chapters are followed by an evaluation of the lasting impact these advances had on the 20th century, that is, the creation of high-energy societies engaged in mass production aimed at improving standards of living.
