First, it helps to know where a technology comes from: what were its predecessors, how did they evolve as a result of the continuous efforts to solve theoretical and practical problems, who were crucial in their emergence, and which cultural differences made them develop into divergent families of artifacts? Second, and closely related to the first insight, how does a certain technology or system fit into its societal context, its culture of mobility, its engineering culture, its culture of car driving, its alternatives, its opponents? Only thus, by studying its prehistory and its socio-cultural context, can we acquire a true 'grasp' of a technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Evolution of Automotive Technology: A Handbook, Second Edition\u003c\/em\u003e covers one and a quarter century of the automobile, conceived as a cultural history of its technology, aimed at engineering students and all those who wish to have a concise introduction into the basics of automotive technology and its long-term development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gijs Mom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1468605968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781468605969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e SAE International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 1.13d","brand":"Gijs Mom","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44321344913663,"sku":"9781468605969","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2123f707-17fe-42ce-b8a8-78a7d6c0655f.jpg?v=1696330411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-evolution-of-automotive-technology-gijs-mom-9781468605969","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
