Edited by Johan Schot and Philip Scranton of Rutgers University (USA), the Making Europe book series investigates the question of 'Who built Europe?' by charting the people and ideas, goods and technologies that spread between countries- and between continents.
This book, which synthesizes findings originally presented in a series of seven volumes published in the Netherlands, uses the idea of contested modernization as an overarching concept through which to understand Dutch technological history.
