Technologies in Context: A Bibliography and Index to the works of David E. Nye
No full textThis reference guide combines and expands the indexes to 14 previously published books (elven of them with The MIT Press), and further indexes 101 scholarly articles and book chapters. All of these publications were peer reviewed.David E. Nye received the Leonardo da Vinci Medal in 2005 for his life's work from the Society for the History of Technology, and his other awards include a knighthood by the Queen in Denmark. His writings focus on technology in American culture. This index covers 14 books, 38 journal articles, and 63 book contributions, or roughly 5,500 pages, published between 1974 and May 2021. The bibliography also includes: 8 edited scholarly books (c. 2,000 pages), 7 textbooks (c. 1,200 pages), 6 translations into other languages, 8 encyclopedia articles, 66 book reviews, teaching materials, interviews, minor works that are difficult to obtain, and non-academic writings. The bibliography provides more details and better organization than one can get from search engines such as Google, which often present misleading or incomplete references and point to only one or two publications, and not necessarily the most important ones on a topic. The index is far more complete. It lists more than 30 sub-headings under automobile, pollution, or tourism, and more than 50 under city, General Electric, photography, railroad, or technology. There are also headings for theoretical topics such as aesthetics, determinism, landscape, narrative, nature, second creation, social construction of reality, space, technological momentum, and unintended consequences.Nye, David E..
