" Technology has long been an essential consideration in public discussions of the environment, with the focus overwhelmingly on creating new tools and techniques. In more recent years, however, activists, researchers, and policymakers have increasingly turned to mobilizing older technologies in their pursuit of sustainability. In fascinating case studies ranging from the Early Modern secondhand trade to utopian visions of human-powered ..."

"Increasingly, historians and museum curators are using technological artifacts as expressions of human culture. Reflecting the broad scope of interaction between science, technology and society, they can help us see not just machines, but also imaginative worlds of the past. Building on this growing interest, three of the world's greatest depositories of material heritage in the history of technology: the Deutsches Museum in Munich, the ..."
"a strict sense, the history of recycling goes back to the beginning of humankind.
For a very long time, the incentive to recycle has been the scarcity of resources,
which gave waste materials a value and, eventually, a price. The amount of
recycling at any given time was thus an indicator of scarcity and, applied to
society, poverty. This implies that the appearance and determinants of recycling
have changed considerably in the pas ..."
"Perhaps most significant, in the long term, for British aeronautics was the

"A cathode-ray tube, a cardiac pacemaker, an integrated circuit - these are the artifacts of the history of electronics. Even as museum pieces, however, they are able to provide us with fresh insights into what is arguably the core technology of the twentieth century. Exposing Electronics is a book for serious historians who want to look beyond their usual documentary sources. But it is also for anyone who is intrigued by the electronic ..."

Physics and Politics Research and Research Support in Twentieth Century Germany in International Perspective (Beitrage Zur Geschichte Der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft) by HelmuthTrischler, Mark Walker, Robert Walker Paperback, 285 Pages, Published 2010 by Franz Steiner Verlag ISBN-13: 978-3-515-09601-0, ISBN: 3-515-09601-9
"Science - with physics center-stage - and politics are two discrete but strongly intertwined parts of society. The book discusses the complex relationship between politics, especially the sharp political caesuras in 20th century German history on the one hand and the manifold continuities in physics of the same period on the other hand. A first set of articles frames the organizational systems and performative structures of funding and ..."
"This volume reprints Paul Forman's classic papers on the history of the scientific profession in post-World War I Germany and the invention of quantum mechanics. The Forman thesis became famous for its demonstration of the cultural conditioning of scientific knowledge, in particular by showing the historical connection between the culture of Weimar Germany -- known for its irrationality and antiscientism -- and the emerging concept of q ..."

"Die Wirtschaft des "Dritten Reichs" war zu weiten Teilen ausgerichtet auf Rüstung und Kriegsführung. Aufrechterhalten werden konnte das System der Kriegswirtschaft nur durch den massiven Einsatz von Zwangsarbeitern und eine weitreichende Umsteuerung industrieller Ressourcen. Im Rahmen des Projektes "Gemeinsames Erinnern" luden die MTU Aero Engines und die BMW Group im März 2007 zu einem Symposium, um die neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erke ..."
"It is clear that artifacts have the power to provoke thought, inspire action and arouse passions. There is evidence of this in the ever-increasing number of museums as well as in the ability of those museums to stimulate controversy through exhibits. As a consequence, much has been written analyzing the interaction between objects and museum visitors. Less well recognized, or understood, is the value of objects for historical research. ..."
