This book should be read by historians of technology and medical
and nursing historians."American Historical Review" "Make[s] a
valuable contribution to the history of technology and the history
of nursing."--###Isis# "This elegantly written book is one of the
best histories of nursing available today. ###Devices and Desires#
is one of the best case studies of the impact of technology on work
that I have ever read; it will make a profound contribution to the
literature on labor history. Sandelowski is philosophically acute,
especially when she explores the nature of human/machine
interactions. Readers who are interested in gender studies will
also be fascinated by this exploration of gender and technological
change."--Ruth Schwartz Cowan, State University of New York at
Stony Brook "Margarete Sandelowski's latest book, ###Devices and
Desires#, continues her groundbreaking scholarship on technology
and its relationships with nursing and the care of patients.
Sandelowski employs the perspective of time to illuminate her
themes of the 'promise and paradox' of technology and caregiving.
This book is a must read for all concerned with competent,
compassionate care and for all who hope to better understand the
world we work and live in."--Joan E. Lynaugh, University of
Pennsylvania
