Hello, all, In case you missed it, our own Sherry Turkle published a long piece in the New York Times recently, based on her work for her book, Alone Together. You can read the piece here:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/22/opinion/sunday/the-flight-from-conversation.html And David Mindell's first book has just been issued in a new, second edition, under the new title, Iron Coffin: War, Technology, and Experience aboard the USS Monitor (Johns Hopkins University Press). You can read an interview with David about the book here: http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/the-civil-wars-iron-age.html For our graduate students, it is worth mentioning that David's award-winning book project began as a second-year paper in our doctoral program -- so sometimes when we say, "of publishable quality," we really mean it (!). Congratulations to Sherry and David for getting the word out about exciting STS scholarship! best, Dave __________ David Kaiser Germeshausen Professor of the History of Science Department Head, Program in Science, Technology, & Society and Senior Lecturer, Department of Physics Room E51-179 Massachusetts Institute of Technology 77 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139 USA Tel: 617 253-4062 Fax: 617 258-8118 [email protected] http://web.mit.edu/dikaiser/www
