Looking through the lens of technology, the authors uncover the stories of the people and practices that shaped European society. Making Europe identifies how institutions, consumption experiences, international relations, infrastructures and communication mechanisms evolved and how Europeans globalised. The 6 volumes of the Making Europe book series take the reader on a discovery journey through 150 years of European advances and disasters, divisions and re-unions. By introducing the experts, innovators, technologies and institutions that fundamentally shaped modern Europe, Making Europe unravels how we all impacted the way it is built and experienced today.
