CLOCKS & CULTURE PA by Carlo M Cipolla
How did a time-keeping device affect the growth of crafts guilds and the scientific research that led to the Industrial Revolution? Clocks and Culture is a brief history of the changes wrought by and on Europe over four hundred years due to technological advances in timekeeping and the rise of a time-aware culture. In his introduction, Anthony Grafton, Henry Putnam University Professor of History at Princeton University, puts this classic book in perspective.CARLO M.CIPOLLA (1922-2000) was an Italian economist, Fulbright Fellow, and University of California, Berkeley professor. Cipolla received honorary degrees in Italy and Switzerland and was awarded the International Balzan Award for Economic History in 1995. The Fundamental Rules of Human Stupidity, his famous treatise, was initially published in 1988 and has since been translated into more than 10 languages. This is the first time it has been published in the United States after being written in English.
