The author, Lewis Mumford, shows the parallel developments between human tools and social organization mainly through language and rituals.  It is considered a synthesis of many theories Mumford developed throughout his prolific writing career.  Volume 2 was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection.

Never Let Me Go (novel): Never Let Me Go is a 2005 dystopian science fiction novel by Japanese-born British author Kazuo Ishiguro.

Clarke Award and for the 2005 National Book Critics Circle Award. " Time" magazine named it the best novel of 2005 and included the novel in its "TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005".  It also received an ALA Alex Award in 2006.

Technics and Civilization: Technics and Civilization is a 1934 book by American philosopher and historian of technology Lewis Mumford.  The book presents the history of technology and its role in shaping and being shaped by civilizations.  According to Mumford, modern technology has its roots in the Middle Ages rather than in the Industrial Revolution.  It is the moral, economic, and political choices we make, not the machines we use, Mumford argues, that have produced a capitalist industrialized machine-oriented economy, whose imperfect fruits serve the majority so imperfectly.
