Science Funding Politics and Porkbarrel
Though this book contained far to many lists of names and numbers that were nearly impossible to follow, it is a great overview of the technological impact of British (and other) colonialism of the 19th and early 20th century.
Unlike other books I've read on the subject, Headrick's account does not glorify 'the empire' and, while the section is brief, comments on the negative impacts of colonialism on native populations.
The book also contains extensive reference notes with each chapter, allowing anyone who would like to to find a great number of other books to read on the subjects of technologies and European imperialism.
