The scientific and technological revolution in shipbuilding in the early twentieth century had a great impact on both the military and the industrial/commercial world. Miwao Matsumoto focuses on the relationship between this revolution and the structure and function of technology gatekeepers during the process of transfer of marine science and technology from Britain to Japan in this period. 02 The scientific and technological revolution in shipbuilding in the early twentieth century had a great impact on both the military and the industrial/commercial world.

Arvustused

"This is an important contribution by an equally important scholar... Matsumoto's work clearly situates Japan's turn-of-the-century experiences in shipbuilding and in scientific and technological development within the larger literature of science, technology, and society." - David G. Wittner, Utica College
