Summary: Everything you ever wanted to know about technology
Comment: This great book contains everything you ever wanted to know about the interplay between technology, economic growth, development, and the environment.

The book stands strong, treating both theory as well as empirical case studies comprehensively. It's full treatment of theory and exhaustive bibliography make the book THE introductory text book for any university curriculum. Extremely valuable cases studies - that will appeal also to the practitioner - are provided for agricultural innovations, biotechnologies, semiconductors, heat and power, and the chemical industry. Finally, the book blends in nicely also chapters on technology, differences in national systems of innovations and in the international diffusion of technology, as well as sustainable development issues.

In short: a reference book, well written and here to last. Thanks Vernon!
