Manufacturing nature : science, technology and Victorian consumer culture / Iwan Rhys Morus.
Abstract:
'The aim here is to explore a cluster of issues in the cultural history of early 19th-century science and technology in terms of the problematic history of work and the negotiation of identity and status associated with working practices. The focus of analysis will be the machine, and human interaction with machinery.'
