Originally published in 1957, this volume compares the 20th Century transformation of human life to the revolution which swept early man into the first civilized communities. It shows how each radical new stage of human development grew out of changes in human personality and consciousness, such as the invention of language and symbols, the origins of universal religions and the mechanization of everyday life. Despite the threat that the author foresees from an over-reliance on automation, the book maintains that humanity still has the means, spiritual, personal and technological to create a sustainable future for itself, by increasing the usefulness and freedom of all men.

The Story of Utopias, written and edited in 1922, is a unique work, in which Lewis Mumford makes the analysis of historical utopias, based on the distinction between utopias of escape and utopias of reconstruction, including these most classic literary utopias, Plato Edward Bellamy, through Thomas More, Bacon, Campanella and others. Utopian way of life, every man enjoys the opportunity to be a man because no one has the possibility to be a monster. The main purpose of man is to grow up to the limit of the stature of its kind. Lewis Mumford (1895-1990) was an American historian, sociologist, philosopher of technology, and literary critic. Particularly noted for his study of cities and urban architecture, he had a broad career as a writer.

Mumford was the versatile New York cultural critic, famous for his writings on architecture, the city, and technology. His "master," Geddes, was the Scots biologist, sociologist, and planner, the "professor of things in general." The letters reveal much about the intellectual culture of the first half of the twentieth century as they chart an extraordinary Anglo-American relationship between two very different men; this friendship, initially of master and disciple, even father/son, and based on a shared intellectual quest, inspired the work of both. All that exists of those letters, and much previously unpublished material besides, has been meticulously collected and edited by Frank G. Novak, Jr.
