The role played by technology in transforming human societies has been a preoccupation of the modern period. Technology and Change in History is a peer-reviewed series of monographs which surveys the development of technology from a variety of different historical perspectives. Each volume aims to present to scholars, graduate students and non-specialists alike the current state of knowledge in the field. Earlier volumes in the series have focused on the Ancient Near East and the Greco-Roman World, as well as the medieval and early modern periods. Over the coming years, the time period and geographical coverage of the series will be extended to encompass the prehistoric and modern periods, as well as Asia, Africa, the Americas and Oceania.

Authors are cordially invited to submit proposals and/or full manuscripts to either the series editors Adam Lucas and Phillip Reidor the Publisher at Brill, Alessandra Giliberto.

Adam Lucas is a senior lecturer in science and technology studies and environmental humanities at the University of Wollongong. He has a Master of Science and Society in Science and Technology Studies and a Master of Arts (Hons) and PhD in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of New South Wales. His published research encompasses the history and sociology of science and technology, and the political economy of climate change and energy policy from a broadly historical and sociological perspective. His current research is focused on two related fields of interest: the energy transition to fossil fuel use in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and obstacles to and enablers of a renewable energy transition and deep decarbonisation in Australia and other Anglo settler societies.
