Who has decided how Europeans have dressed and dwelled? Traveled and dined? Worked and played? Who, in fact, can be credited with the shaping of Europe? Certainly inventors, engineers, and politicians played their parts. But in the making of Europe, consumers, tinkerers, and rebels were an unrecognized force - until now. In this book, historians Ruth Oldenziel and Mikael Hård spotlight the people who 'made' Europe - by appropriating technology, protesting for and against it. Using examples from Britain and the Continent, the authors illustrate the conflicts that accompanied the modern technologies, from the sewing machine to the bicycle, the Barbie doll to personal computers. What emerges is a fascinating portrait of how Europeans have lived, from the 1850s to the current century.

Also habe ich beschlossen, Fame Doctor zu werden. Ich werde meine neue monatliche Kolumne für The Face nutzen, um über jeden lächerlichen, surrealen, erstaunlichen Aspekt zu schreiben, wenn eine Million Menschen deinen Namen kennen. Aber als mein zweitägiger Flirt mit...
