THE MYTH OF THE MACHINE: [2 Volume Set] The Pentagon of Power and Technics and Human Development

Mumford, Lewis

Edité par Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1970

Pentagon of Power SIGNED by Mumford on the FFEP and INSCRIBED, 'For David Follanshee / with warm thanks for his indispensable aid in gathering the illustrations. / [signed] Lewis Mumford / Amenia, New York / October 1970.' *Technics and Human Development* is a third printing with 'CDE' number line and ISBN; *Pentagon of Power* is a first printing, a pre-publication Book-of-the-Month selection. 496, 342pp. 8vos, Khaki and gray cloth respectively, illustrated with b/w photo plates. Both volumes show some small spot stains to the top edge, Technics with owner's name to FFEP, otherwise both volumes are entirely clean and sharp. Both DJ's with some light wear to the extremities, Technics spine a bit sunned. A very nice association on the two volume work that was a crowning and exhaustive treatment of one of Mumford's perennial concerns throughout his long writing carreer: the paradoxically regressive impact of technology in modern life. A lovely inscription on a book not often seen signed. N° de réf. du vendeur 510068
