{"product_id":"art-and-technics-lewis-mumford-9780231121057","title":"Art and Technics","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a new introduction by Casey Nelson Blake, this classic text provides the essence of Mumford's views on the distinct yet interpenetrating roles of technology and the arts in modern culture. Mumford contends that modern man's overemphasis on technics has contributed to the depersonalization and emptiness of much of twentieth-century life. He issues a call for a renewed respect for artistic impulses and achievements. His repeated insistence that technological development take the Human as its measure -- as well as his impassioned plea for humanity to make the most of its \"splendid potentialities and promise\" and reverse its progress toward anomie and destruction -- is ever more relevant as the new century dawns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lewis Mumford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231121059\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231121057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.31w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 200","brand":"Lewis Mumford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987271024895,"sku":"9780231121057","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ab3acae9-b803-412f-b0b8-dd040d715927.jpg?v=1683287983","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-and-technics-lewis-mumford-9780231121057","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
