Seller's Description:
Good (Wraps are edgeworn/scuffed/smudged; textblock edges are worn/scuffed/smudged; interior is clean; binding is solid. ) Red and white wraps with white and black lettering and illustration; xiv, 329 pp.; richly illustrated. This book traces the historical roots of the Western obsession with economic development and material comforts to the early modern period, that era between the decline of feudalism and the industrial revolution. Mukerji demonstrates how patterns of mass consumption, economic analysis, and technological innovation that are usually assumed to have started with the Industrial Revolution not only appeared prior to that time but also provided the cultural impetus to industrialization. The cultural basis for European development is located in a 'materialistic culture' that became apparent during this early modern period, and 'From Graven Images' captures the dynamics of that culture with four exceptionally interesting case studies. --Rear cover.
