Críticas
"Strongly recommended not only for liberal arts studens but also for those in scientific and engineering curricula, and for professionals as well. General readers; undergraduates; two-year technical program students." --CHOICE, May 1999 "Growing out of an engineering course taught at Brown University for liberal arts students, Appropriate Technology demonstrates how to broaden the impact of engineering on the nonengineer. Both the course and the book advocate using technology as a vehicle to "foster the goals of a liberal arts education: increasing students' analytical ability, their understanding of the contemporary world, their confidence in dealing with complex problems, and their ethical and aesthetic sensitivity." "The book is divided into two sections, focusing first on the technologies themselves" electricity, hydropower, wind power, and photovoltaic devices, among others" and then on how these technologies are used. Each well-organized chapter includes an extensive set of problems and projects that allow students to apply what they have studied." "Engineering design courses could benefit from using this book, which presents clearly the need to anticipate the influence of engineering and technology in bringing about cultural change. Technical readers and nontechnical readers alike will find something of interest in Appropriate Technology. It should be required reading for anyone in a public policy-making position..." --ASEE PRISM ONLINE, Dec 1999
