Distant voices & Faith in numbers

Burke, James, 1936- (Added Author). Kennard, David. (Added Author). Jackson, Mick. (Added Author). British Broadcasting Corporation. Television Service. (Added Author).

Summary: Series summary: As the Sherlock Holmes of science, Burke tracks through 12,000 years of history for the clues that lead us to eight great life changing inventions - the atomic bomb, telecommunications, the computer, the production line, jet aircraft, plastics, rocketry and television. Burke postulates that such changes occur in response to factors he calls "triggers," some of them seemingly unrelated. These have their own triggering effects, causing change in totally unrelated fields as well. And so the connections begin.
