Mumford contends that modern man's overemphasis on technics has contributed to the depersonalization and emptiness of much of twentieth-century life. He issues a call for a renewed respect for artistic impulses and achievements. His repeated insistence that technological development take the Human as its measure -- as well as his impassioned plea for humanity to make the most of its \"splendid potentialities and promise\" and reverse its progress toward anomie and destruction -- is ever more relevant as the new century dawns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51680986923296,"sku":"NEW0231121059","price":37.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51CKOcvdUxL.jpg?v=1779359778","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/art-and-technics-0231121059","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
