"Technology has been fundamental to German political, economic, social, and cultural development. Karsten Uhl provides the first systematic overview of its central role since the 19th century, incorporating classic studies of key technologies with findings and emerging themes from the most recent literature." -- Ray Stokes, Chair of Business History (Economic & Social History), University of Glasgow, UK "Technology in Modern German History is the first comprehensive study to explore the profound significance of technology in modern German history. This study is insightful, interesting, and eminently readable and will be of interest both to scholars and students." -- Dolores L. Augustine, Professor, Department of History, St. John's University, USA "Karsten Uhl's Technology in Modern German History serves as an excellent introduction to the history of technology in Germany. The book's secondary source materials explicitly build on foundational texts within the field of history of technology, thereby reenforcing the book's position as an overview resource, one that serves to introduce students not only to German history of technology but also to the history of technology as a whole.

" -- H-Net Reviews in the Humanities & Social Sciences " Technology in Modern German History is an excellent and stimulating overview of essential themes in the history of German technology with a helpful bibliography of English-language sources." --Andrea Maestrejuan, Central European History "This is a highly readable and informative survey that succeeds in covering many important features of the history of technology in Germany and convincingly integrates recent methodological developments." --Marcus Popplow, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, Technology and Culture "A critical and comprehensive work that is indeed essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the profound impact of technology on Germany's development. The work not only gives the reader access to classic works in the field, but also provides new insights and stimulates the reader's interest in exploring the field of academic research in depth." -- The Paper (Bloomsbury translation) "Karsten Uhl has written a valuable book that will help readers grasp both the complexity and richness of the German technological heritage." -- Journal of Modern History.
