| description | Dreicer examines debates between the technologists who reinvented building with the erection of thousands of lattice bridges, and the developers of the tubular bridge, who built four in Wales, England, and Canada. He views invention as an identity-building activity, however, demonstrates the ambiguity of categories and highlights their cultural roles. Also, he explores the construction of identity which means investigating the people with the authority to engineer the world and make money and history along with it. |
