Kritik
"Europeans Globalizing is part of an ambitious research agenda that questions Europe's history through a transnational history of technology. ... the range and scope of the book as well as the thoughtfulness with which the authors discuss their disparate topics are impressive. ... the transnational approach provides a refreshing perspective on Europe's identity and connections to the world. It is a welcome and important contribution to the literature on Europe's place in the technological Great Divergence." (Marten Boon, EuropeNow Journal, europenowjournal.org, April, 2017)mehr
