Abstract
Every great invention has a story. In this podcast, Dr. Müllner looks at the evolution of invention and discovery—much like he will in his Foundational Studies course at Boise State this fall. As a case study, Dr. Müllner looks at the development of steel, which had various driving forces including politics, economy, architecture, music, agriculture, war, and even religion. In turn, the availability of steel shaped buildings, landscapes, musical tones, and the courses of wars and economy. This podcast also highlights some historical figures who played significant and sometimes surprising roles. Dr. Müllner puts invention and discovery in context, discussing science and technology as they relate to history and our present day society.
