Science and Technology in World History: An Introduction

"This historical account achieves its basic aim of demonstrating that, with the exception of quite recent history, technology has always influenced science, not the other way round." -- Nature

"If I could attach bells and whistles and flashing lights to this review I would do so because McClellan and Dorn's book deserves to be brought to the attention of all professional historians, and indeed the general reading public, by any means necessary." -- Canadian Journal of History/Annales canadiennes d'histoire

"Inclusive and straightforward." -- Technology and Culture

"This is one of few books that tackle both the history of science and the history of technology, and most notably presents them in a global context." -- Suzanne Moon, Colorado School of Mines

"This unusual work enables students to understand some large-scale patterns in history and the ways in which investigations into nature fit into those patterns." -- Barbara J. Reeves, Virginia Tech
