A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Since The Great Exhibition of 1851, the nations of the world have regularly come together to display the most innovative and ingenious inventions of mankind, both aesthetic and scientific. The expositions and the technological and intellectual creativity they exhibited, have radically and permanently altered the host cities and our understanding of the possibilities of human ambition and imagination. From the grand expositions of the 19th Century to the striking modernity of Shanghai 2010, Visions of Mankind explores the fascinating history of World's Fairs; a history that is a fitting testament to man's endless capacity to inspire, develop an envolve.
