Paperback. Etat : New. Second Edition. The first edition of The Sources of Invention, published in 1958, has been described as "a classic in science policy which has had a very considerable influence on both economists and scientists in Europe and in the United States." The authors set out to study the causes and consequences of industrial innovation--one, if not the main, spring of economic progress. They examined the important inventions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in order to discover just how far recent inventions have emerged from conditions different from those of the past. The evidence collected threw light on many questions, such as the influence of large research institutions and the concept of teamwork, the arguments for monopoly in industry, and the possibility of predicting inventions.The second edition is a considerable enlargement of the first. To the original group of fifty-one case histories--which included Automatic Transmissions, Fluorescent Lighting, the Helicopter, Kodachrome, Polyethylene, Synthetic Detergents, the Transistor, and Xerography--have now been added ten other recent important cases, each of which has its own fascinating peculiarity: Air Cushion Vehicles; Chlordane, Aldrin, and Dieldrin; Electronic Digital Computers; Float Glass; the Moulton Bicycle; Oxygen Steelmaking; Photo-Typesetting; the Cure for Rhesus Haemolytic Disease; Semi-Synthetic Penicillins; and the Wankel Engine. A new chapter evaluates the relevant literature of the last ten years.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. 2nd Edition. Printed in the U.S.A. [Date from the copyright page.] First Printing. Prefaces to the First and Second Editions, Acknowledgments, Introduction, 13 Tables, black-and-white photo-Illustrations, Footnotes, References for each Section, Conclusions and Speculations, Summaries of Original Case Studies, New Case Histories, Index; 372 pages. The original green cloth is very good, with corners square and black lettering clear on the gently bumped spine; only a touch of rubbing to the bottom edge. The interior is fresh, crisp, and completely clean; however, the front free endpaper is clipped at the top corner and there is much spotting to the text-block edges. The original dust jacket, with price intact ($8.95), has taken all the wear---being rubbed, chipped, and spotted; however, no text is affected. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] In the first edition, the authors "set out to study the causes and consequences of industrial innovation---one, if not the main, spring of economic progress. They examined the important innovations of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in order to discover just how far recent inventions have emerged from conditions different from those of the past. § The second edition is a considerable enlargement of the first [adding] ten other recent important cases, each of which has its own fascinating peculiarity. . . .
