Description: SIGNED ✎ STEVEN JOHNSON How We Got to Now, Six Innovations -UNREAD HCDJ 1st 2014 SIGNED ✎ STEVEN JOHNSON How We Got to Now, Six Innovations -UNREAD HCDJ 1st 2014 STEVEN JOHNSON How We Got to Now, Six Innovations That Made the Modern World 2014 hardcover with jacket, appears UNREAD. Super tight and clean with no markings (except from author). Inscribed to previous owner with a note of thanks for believing in this (see 4th photo). First printing, indicated by the full number line ending with a "1" on the copyright page. Ships in a BOX (not a bubble bag) well protected. In this illustrated history, Steven Johnson explores the history of innovation over centuries, tracing facets of modern life (refrigeration, clocks, and eyeglass lenses, to name a few) from their creation by hobbyists, amateurs, and entrepreneurs to their unintended historical consequences. Filled with surprising stories of accidental genius and brilliant mistakes—from the French publisher who invented the phonograph before Edison but forgot to include playback, to the Hollywood movie star who helped invent the technology behind Wi-Fi and Bluetooth—How We Got to Now investigates the secret history behind the everyday objects of contemporary life. In his trademark style, Johnson examines unexpected connections between seemingly unrelated fields: how the invention of air-conditioning enabled the largest migration of human beings in the history of the species—to cities such as Dubai or Phoenix, which would otherwise be virtually uninhabitable; how pendulum clocks helped trigger the industrial revolution; and how clean water made it possible to manufacture computer chips.
