Book Synopsis
This new edition marks the 35th anniversary of Marx's classic text on the relationship between technology and culture in 19th- and 20th-century America. It features a new afterword by the author on the process of writing this pioneering book, a work that all but founded the discipline now called American Studies.

Trade Review
An exciting book, exemplifying studies in American culture at their best. * Hennig Cohen, Saturday Review *
This is an important contribution to our understanding of some of the enigmas and conflicts at work in the American imagination, particularly in the 19th century. * Tony Tanner, Encounter *
