![]() In Wonderland, Johnson compellingly argues that observers of technological and social trends should be looking for clues in novel amusements. He introduces us to the colorful innovators of leisure: the explorers, proprietors, showmen, and artists who changed the trajectory of history with their luxurious wares, exotic meals, taverns, gambling tables, and magic shows. Johnson's storytelling is just as delightful as the inventions he describes, full of surprising stops along the journey from simple concepts to complex modern systems. Steven Johnson argues that, throughout history, the cutting edge of innovation lies wherever people are working the hardest to keep themselves and others amused. This lushly illustrated history of popular entertainment takes a long-zoom approach, contending that the pursuit of novelty and wonder is a powerful driver of world-shaping technological change. ![]() ![]() Wonderland inspires grins and well-what-d'ya-knows" - The New York Times Book Reviewįrom the New York Times-bestselling author of How We Got to Now and Where Good Ideas Come From, a look at the world-changing innovations we made while keeping ourselves entertained. ![]() ![]() OL24264330W Page_number_confidence 90.70 Pages 346 Partner Innodata Pdf_module_version 0.0.20 Ppi 300 Rcs_key 24143 Republisher_date 20201119155509 Republisher_operator Republisher_time 318 Scandate 20201119021145 Scanner Scanningcenter cebu Scribe3_search_catalog isbn Scribe3_search_id 9780670917372 Tts_version 4. ![]() Urn:lcp:falseeconomysurp0000beat:epub:1c8cabe8-a12e-45fd-8dc1-96959d7ca65a Foldoutcount 0 Grant_report Arcadia #4117 Identifier falseeconomysurp0000beat Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t3tv49k5z Invoice 1853 Isbn 9780670917372Ġ670918105 Ocr tesseract 4.1.1 Ocr_detected_lang en Ocr_detected_lang_conf 1.0000 Ocr_detected_script Latin Ocr_detected_script_conf 0.9668 Ocr_module_version 0.0.6 Ocr_parameters -l eng Old_pallet IA19874 Openlibrary_edition In False Economy, Alan Beattie tackles misconceptions about the modern world, looking back at history through economic binoculars, questioning various assumptions about Islam, Africa, corruption, government subsidies, and more. ![]() Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 04:48:38 Boxid IA1999412 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier ![]() ![]() Joanna is uncomfortable serving the King, and fears for her life in a court bursting with hidden agendas and a casual disregard for the virtues she holds dear. ![]() Until she is summoned to Whitehall Palace, where her tapestry weaving has drawn the King’s attention.
