For over four decades, Leo Marx's work has focused on the relationship between technology and culture in 19th and 20thcentury America. His research helped to defineand continues to give depth tothe area of American studies concerned with the links between scientific and technological advances, and the way society and culture both determine these links. The Machine in the Garden fully examines the difference between the 'pastoral' and 'progressive' ideals which characterized early 19thcentury American culture, and which ultimately evolved into the basis for much of the environmental and nuclear debates of contemporary society.This new edition is appearing in celebration of the 35th anniversary of Marx's classic text. It features a new afterword by the author on the process of writing this pioneering book, a work that all but founded the discipline now called American Studies.
