Consumers, Tinkerers, Rebels

The People Who Shaped Europe

Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)

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?

In this book, historians Ruth Oldenziel and Mikael Hård spotlight the people who 'made' Europe - by appropriating technology, protesting for and against it.

What emerges is a fascinating portrait of how Europeans have lived, from the 1850s to the current century. weiterlesen
