From the reviews:

“This book discusses the production, sustainability, environmental, and ethical issues associated with applications of technology. Full of colorful graphics and illustrations plus extensive Internet links to additional information … . the chapter sections are organized by principles, applications, trends, and prospects. This consistent organization helps readers more easily understand unfamiliar topics. This guide provides current and broad overviews of technology. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and two-year technical program students.” (J. M. Scaramozzino, Choice, Vol. 47 (4), December, 2009)

Aus den Rezensionen:

“... Bei der englischen Übersetzung und Neubearbeitung ‘Technology Guide‘ ist alles ... besser geworden: Text, Gestaltung, Struktur und Bebilderung dieser transdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit ist einfach hervorragend. Dieses Buch ist der Versuch einer rnehrdimensionalen Vernetzung der wichtigsten Technologien. ... Das Buch ist eine ‘Tour d’horizon‘ der Sonderklasse. Es ist kapitelweise zu lesen und sollte jederzeit griffbereit sein. Alle Bilder, Grafiken und Darstellungen sind farbig und wirklich wissensvermittelnd. Das ‘Lesebuch‘ legt man nicht gerne aus der Hand. ... ein Nachschlagewerk der Kategorie: Muss man haben!“ (http://www.wissenschaft-online.de/sixcms/detail.php?id=1023580&_druckversion=%201)
