As an overview work, this book covers many aspects of the history of technology, such as urban technology, rural technology, high technology, everyday technology, technology users, etc., and gives a relatively complete picture of the technological development of modern Germany. In addition, the book gives attention to previously neglected areas of study, such as rural areas, which have played an important role in the history of industrialization, and technology users, who are crucial to the history of technology and its social and cultural applications.
