Anmeldelser
«Every standards professional should own this book. Bottom line—an A+.
—Standards Engineering»
«By recounting the story of standardization, Yates and Murphy demonstrate how human and organizational actions slowly sediment into institutions that melt into the background of our lives.
—Administrative Science Quarterly»
«Yates and Murphy provide an engaging narrative about the people and processes responsible for making the technologies we have today work with one another
—New Books Network»
«The book is an extraordinarily detailed history of the movement from national to international standards creation and use. It introduces as its heroes . . . a series of men of rectitude and accomplishment who selflessly built the practice.
—Yale Journal on Regulation»
«A comprehensive, readable account of private standard setting that should interest legal scholars, lawyers, and law students. Yates and Murphy have provided a great service with their illuminating history of the private world of standard setting.
—The Regulatory Review»
«This book is history at its finest. It is not only a technical and business history of engineering standards but also a deeply researched social history of communities of standardizers. It is also elegantly written—a testament to Yates's and Murphy's research and writing skills. Historians of capitalism and technology will find it required reading, but this book also stands a fair chance of engaging a mass readership.
