World's Fairs on the Eve of War by Robert Kargon

World's Fairs on the Eve of War by Robert Kargon

Most of the existing literature about world's fairs tends to focus either on one particular event, or only on fairs in the US. This book takes a novel approach by studying five fairs and expositions from across the globe, and before the Second World War. It is one of the first books to consider representations of science and technology at world's fairs as influential cultural forces.
