This volume provides an illustrated study of American industrial architecture and civil engineering from the mid-18th century to World War II. The 350 compelling bandw photographs (drawn mostly from the Historic American Engineering Record of the National Park Service) and text by Bergeron and Maiullari-Pontois (experts in the field of industrial archaeology) weave together several significant themes of American history--not only the technological advances and the milestones of civil engineering, but also the socioeconomic impact of these developments and their architectural manifestation. The seven chapters discuss the two phases of industrialization in the U.S., major themes in the U.S. industrial heritage, and understanding our industrial heritage. Oversize: 10.25x11.50".

Kiernan traces the transformation of the United States from a weak, loosely organized society of subsistence farmers, fishermen and cottage craftsmen into the most powerful colossus of industrial and technological prowess. Arguing that the primary vehicle of the country's historic transformation has been its evolving social, scientific, technological and industrial machine, he analyzes how and why the United States became the material Goliath and how this has altered the Americans. From Ben Franklin's lightning rod to Roebling's Great East River Bridge, from the Erie Canal to Edison's light bulb and from Henry Ford's mass produced automobile to the Manhattan Project, the volume illuminates America's journey from the 18th century to today. Kiernan's startling conclusion is that what America needs now is more engineers to keep pace with the technological advances made by other nations. ISBN 0-688-00456-3 : $16.95.

Zany Inventions: 150 Years of Misguided American Ingenuity is a collection of nearly 150 humorous inventions found in the archives of the United States Patent Office. The patent archives provide a history of the progression of technology in America. As this book points out, the methods by which problems were solved in the past served as stepping stones for the future. While many historic inventions might now be viewed as being humorous, trivial, or overly complex, these inventions were likely perceived much differently in their day. Following are some examples of the ?zany inventions? found. ?How do you make sure a road crew is working? The ?counting shovel.? ?How do you figure out which hens are laying and which ones aren?t? Use an ?egg counter? strapped on their posterior. ?How do you store your chewing gum so you can chew it for a week? Use a ?chewing gum locket? you can wear around your neck. Each patent within this book includes an Inventor?s Description that has been extracted from the patent text. These descriptions provide interesting insights into problems of the day along with the benefits the proposed solution offered. The patents are neatly organized into thirteen functional areas (e.g. ?better mousetraps?, ?law and order?, ?better living?) with the patents presented from earliest issued to most current.
