The Road to Colossus

Thomas Kiernan

4.9/5 (27825 ratings)

Description:Kiernan traces the transformation of the United States from a weak, loosely organized society of subsistence farmers, fishermen and cottage craftsmen into the most powerful colossus of industrial and technological prowess. Arguing that the primary vehicle of the country's historic transformation has been its evolving social, scientific, technological and industrial machine, he analyzes how and why the United States became the material Goliath and how this has altered the Americans. From Ben Franklin's lightning rod to Roebling's Great East River Bridge, from the Erie Canal to Edison's light bulb and from Henry Ford's mass produced automobile to the Manhattan Project, the volume illuminates America's journey from the 18th century to today. Kiernan's startling conclusion is that what America needs now is more engineers to keep pace with the technological advances made by other nations.
