Law, Science, and Technology : Historical and Social Context
100 p.
Through a series of historical analyses, Friedman explores the relationship between the legal system and the development of modern science and technology. The scientific revolution produced major changes in culture; and these in turn led to changes in government and law. The book covers, among other topics, the transportation revolution; the camera and the entertainment industry; the "germ theory" and its influence on modern society; and the role of culture and technology in the sexual revolution.
