Every day seems to bring new worries about the dangers posed by carcinogens, superbugs, energy crises, invasive species, genetically modified organisms, groundwater contamination, failing infrastructure, and other troubling issues.In Technology and the Environment in History, Sara B. Pritchard and Carl A. Zimring adopt an analytical approach to explore current research at the intersection of environmental history and the history of technology--an emerging field known as envirotech. Technology and the Environment in History They discuss the important topics, historical processes, and scholarly concerns that have emerged from recent work in thinking about envirotech. Each chapter focuses on a different urgent topic:- Food and Food Systems: How humans have manipulated organisms and ecosystems to produce nutrients for societies throughout history.- Industrialization: How environmental processes have constrained industrialization and required shifts in the relationships between human and nonhuman nature.- Discards: What we can learn from the multifaceted forms, complex histories, and unexpected possibilities of waste.- Disasters: How disaster, which the authors argue is common in the industrialized world, exposes the fallacy of tidy divisions among nature, technology, and society.- Body: How bodies reveal the porous boundaries among technology, the environment, and the human.- Sensescapes: How environmental and technological change have reshaped humans\' (and potentially nonhumans\') sensory experiences over time.Using five concepts to understand the historical relationships between technology and the environment--porosity, systems, hybridity, biopolitics, and environmental justice--Pritchard and Zimring propose a chronology of key processes, moments, and periodization in the history of technology and the environment. Ultimately, they assert, envirotechnical perspectives help us engage with the surrounding world in ways that are, we hope, more sustainable and just for both humanity and the planet. Aimed at students and scholars new to environmental history, the history of technology, and their nexus, this impressive synthesis looks outward and forward--identifying promising areas in more formative stages of intellectual development and current synergies with related areas that have emerged in the past few years, including environmental anthropology, discard studies, and posthumanism. First named by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his farewell address, the Military-Industrial Complex, originally an exclusively American phenomenon of the Cold War, was tailored to develop and produce military technologies equal to the existential threat perceived to be posed by the Soviet Union. An informal yet robust relationship between the military and industry, the MIC pursued and won a qualitative, technological arms race but exacted a high price in waste, fraud, and abuse. Today, although total US spending on national security exceeds $1 trillion a year, it accounts for a smaller percentage of the federal budget, the national GDP, and world military spending than during the Cold War. Given this fact, is the MIC as we commonly understand it still alive? If so, how has it changed in the intervening years?In Delta of Power, Alex Roland tells the comprehensive history of the MIC from 1961, the Cold War, and the War on Terror, to the present day. Roland argues that the MIC is now significantly different than it was when Eisenhower warned of its dangers, still exerting a significant but diminished influence in American life. Focusing intently on the three decades since the end of the Cold War in 1991, Roland explains how a lack of cohesion, rapid change, and historical contingency have transformed America\'s military-industrial institutions and infrastructure.Roland addresses five critical realms of transformation: civil-military relations, relations between industry and the state, among government agencies, between scientific-technical communities and the state, and between technology and society. He also tracks the way in which America\'s arsenal has evolved since 1991. The MIC still merits Eisenhower\'s warning of political and moral hazard, he concludes, but it continues to deliver, by a narrower margin, the world\'s most potent arsenal. An authoritative account of America\'s evolving arsenal since World War II, Delta of Power is a dynamic exploration of military preparedness and current events. Lecture 02. Resistance &.
