"In Meaning in Technology, Arnold Pacey explores how an individual's sense of purpose and meaning in life can affect the shape and use of technology. He argues against reductionism in interpreting technology in a human context, and for acknowledgment of the role of the human experience of purpose when it helps to express meaning in technology. In the first part of the book, Pacey analyzes the direct experience of technology by individuals--engineers, mathematicians, craft workers, and consumers. In the second part, he examines the contexts in which technology is used, relating technology to nature and society. He explores our sense of place and of our relationship with nature, environmental concerns, gender, and creativity. He concludes with a discussion of the possibilities of a more people-centered technology"--Provider website. Annotation In previous books Arnold Pacey has written about the role of ideas and ideals in the creation of technology, about the global history of technology, and about how the complex interaction of political, cultural, economic, and scientific influences determines the course of technological practice. In Meaning in Technology, he explores how an individual's sense of purpose and meaning in life can affect the shape and use of technology. Stressing that there is no hierarchy of meaning in technology, he argues against reductionism in interpreting technology in a human context, and for acknowledgment of the role of the human experience of purpose when it helps to express meaning in technology. In the first part of the book, Pacey analyzes the direct experience of technology by individuals - engineers, mathematicians, craft workers, and consumers. He looks at music as a source of technology, at visual thinking, at tactile knowledge, and at the generation of social meaning. In the second part, he examines the contexts in which technology is used, relating technology to nature and society. He explores our sense of place and of our relationship with nature, environmental concerns, gender, and creativity. He concludes with a discussion of the possibilities of a more people-centered technology - a participatory, ethical experience of technology that values people as well as their environment.

Eén van de middelen om een cultuur te kenmerken is de beschrijving van de hulpmiddelen en werkwijzen waarmee materiële zaken tot stand worden gebracht, dat wil zeggen de beschrijving van de technische aspecten van de cultuur. Een belangrijk onderdeel daarvan is de bouwtechniek, mede omdat deze een nauwe samenhang heeft met een ander belangrijk cultuurkenmerk, de bouwkunst. In het boek 'Constructies' is een schets gegeven van de historische ontwikkeling van de bouwtechniek in de westerse wereld aan de hand van een aantal voorbeelden van bouwobjecten die karakteristiek zijn voor de bouwtechniek in de periode waarin ze tot stand kwamen. De nadruk is gelegd op de periode van 1750 tot 1940, met name op de 19e eeuw, toen de grondslagen werden gelegd voor de moderne bouwtechniek. Het boek begint met een kort overzicht van de geschiedenis van de bouwtechniek terwijl aan het einde levensbeschrijvingen van een aantal bekende constructeurs zijn opgenomen.
