In Context presents fourteen essays written in honor of Melvin Kranzberg, the prime mover in founding the Society for the History of Technology and its quarterly journal Technology and Culture some three decades ago. Reflecting on the past, present, and future of the history of technology as a scholarly discipline, the contributors all share in the perception that technology cannot be understood or properly analyzed apart from its sociocultural surroundings—theapproach that has been termed "contextual" by John M. Staudenmaier, who contributed one of the volume's essays.
