Hand's End offers a new philosophy of technology as the fundamental way in which humans experience and define nature-the tool as humanity extended.

Review:
"Convincing and well-written, this book should be read by all of us."--Anna Otten, "The Antioch Review
From the Back Cover:
"Hand's End provides a historical overview of Western philosophical thought about the interrelationship of technology and nature. . . . For all concerned about our planet and humankind's ability to find a sustainable future, Rothenberg extends his hand and mind in affirmation of a more beneficial technology."--Robert S. Blount III, Forest and Conservation Biology
"Technology, human nature, and nature, according to Rothenberg, are inextricable. . . . [and are] explained en route to a bold new theory that encompasses ancient waterworks and nuclear weapons."--Howard Rheingold, editor of"The Millennium Whole Earth Catalog
"Using pungent historical examples, "Hand's End argues that technology, properly used, can extend nature rather than destroy it."--Roger Shattuck, author of "The Innocent Eye
