from The Johns Hopkins University Press
Price: $14.02

Customer Review:

The main thesis of this book is to show how technology and science developed largely independently of each other throughout almost all of history.

from Scribner
Price: $0.01

Customer Review:

One might think the history of the development of threaded fasteners -- a.k.a. screws -- might not be a riveting read. But that would be wrong; the description actually hits the nail on the head.
