The revolution in making, and in consuming the things which were made, impacted on lives at every scale -from body to home to workplace to city to nation. Beyond the explosion in technology, scientific knowledge, manufacturing, trade, and museums, changes in class structure, politics, ideology, and morality all acted to transform the world of objects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 6 volume set of the \u003ci\u003eCultural History of Objects\u003c\/i\u003e examines how objects have been created, used, interpreted and set loose in the world over the last 2500 years.
