The Technological Transformation of Japan: From the Seventeenth to the Twenty-First Century (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780521424929)

For decades, Japan has been at the cutting edge of much technology, becoming an industrial superpower along the way. However, it is not widely acknowledged that Japan's status as technological leader is the result of historical processes over centuries. This landmark book is the first general English-language history of technology in modern Japan. Impressive for its scope and insight, the book also considers the social costs of rapid technological change.
