Summary
"Through a series of historical analyses, Friedman explores the relationship between the legal system and the development of modern science and technology. The scientific revolution produced major changes in culture; and these, in turn, led to changes in government and law. The book covers, among other topics, the transportation revolution; the camera and the entertainment industry; "germ theory" and its influence on modern society; and the role of culture and technology in the sexual revolution." -- Back cover.
