Technology is embedded in culture, in society, and in the physical environment. Long applies this premise to the history of technology in the years 500--1300, comparing the rich political, religious, and economic ways in which individuals and communities in Byzantium, Islam, and western Europe sought to manipulate their environment during the medieval centuries.
Pamela O. Long is an independent historian who has published extensively on medieval and late medieval/Renaissance cultural history, history of science, and technology. Her publications include Openness, Secrecy, Authorship: Technical Arts and the Culture of Knowledge from Antiquity to the Renaissance (Baltimore, Md.: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2001), and one of the previous booklets in the AHA/SHOT series—Technology, Society, and Culture in Late Medieval/Renaissance Europe, 1300–1600.
