Abbott Payson Usher (1883 – June 18, 1965) was an American economic historian. The Society of the History of Technology has awarded the Abbott Payson Usher Prize, named in his honor, annually since 1961. In the late 1920s Usher, the American historian Lewis Mumford and the Swiss art historian Sigfried Giedion began to systematically investigate the social consequences of technology. In ''A History of Mechanical Inventions'' he argued that technological innovation was a slow, collective process with many contributors, not relying on the genius of great inventors. ==Publications== * ((online text )) * ((online text )) * (Harvard University Press, 1954; Dover Publications, 1988 ISBN 0-486-25593-X)((online text )) *((online text )) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abbott Payson Usher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
