Featuring a new introduction by Casey Blake, this classic text provides the essence of Mumford's views on the role of technology and the arts in modern culture. Mumford contends that modern man's overemphasis on "technics" has contributed to the depersonalization and emptiness of much of twentieth-century life and issues a call for renewed respect for artistic impulses and achievements.
