Reviews

This is the second of a two-part review of “Connections: Technology and Change” which is a joint effort of the Courses by Newspaper (CbN) project and the book/television series titled “Connections.” See March 1980 issue of Technology & Society for the first part. The Courses by Newspaper program includes a 15-part series of weekly newspaper articles, the course offering at numerous colleges and universities in the fall of 1979, the book under review and a Reader/Study Guide and an instructor´s Source Book. The major portion of the printed material in the CbN program is contained in the book which is an anthology composed of 69 different selections by nearly as many different authors. These writings cover a combined total of nearly 500 pages and are divided into five parts: Technology and Trial, Technology´s Effects, Conditions of Technological Development, Sources of Technological Change and Retrospect and Prospect.
