The Axemaker's Gift: Technology's Capture and Control of Our Minds and Culture Paperback - 1997
by James Burke
Historian James Burke and psychologist Robert Ornstein illustrate the spiraling impact from humankind's development of technology. Now, the authors argue, we need to learn how to shift human society back into harmony by understanding and respecting the basic wisdom of the nontechnical world. A major achievement that journeys through human culture and issues a wake-up call for us all to take control of our future.
