Description
 
 
This website is the online site of the radio show "The Engines of Our Ingenuity", which looks at the history of technology that makes our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. The program uses the record of history to reveal the way art, technology, and ideas have shaped us. Episode topics range from cable cars to Civil War submarines, from the connection between Romantic poets and Victorian science to the invention of the bar code. Transcripts from previous shows are available on the website as well as some extras.
