Retooling: A historian confronts technological change

When Warren Kendall Lewis left Spring Garden Farm in Delaware in 1901 to enter MIT, he had no idea that he was becoming part of a profession that would bring untold good to his country but would also contribute to the death of his family´s farm. In this book written a century later, Professor Lewis´s granddaughter, uses her grandfather´s and her own experience to make sense of the rapidly changing role of technology in contemporary life.
