Produktinformasjon
<p><strong>Why do we speak the same language, use the same money, or trust a screw to fit every time?</strong></p><p>Everything on our planet is underwritten by standards. Behind every leap in human progress is a quiet agreement: a shared standard that lets us build on each other's work.</p><p>In <em>The Screw that Changed the World</em>, Dr. Karl Turner journeys through time and technology, starting with the genetic codes that turned microbes into world-makers. Then, he examines the rise of language, money, and measurement, before landing on the Whitworth screw: the humble hardware that launched the modern industrial age. </p><p>Today, in a time marked by ongoing wars and the after-effects of colonization, our planet is once again at a critical turning point. Where do we go from here? And how can an understanding of standardization help us navigate the new contexts of our time? </p><p>For fans of Malcolm Gladwell, this fun and comprehensive history expertly showcases the hidden architecture that can make anything we dream into a reality, for worse or for better.</p>
