“Studie o technice v českých zemích 1945–1992” (2003–2003, AV0/IC)

(Studies on the Technology in the Czech Lands in 1945-1992)

The Studies on the Technology in the Czech Lands in 1945–1992 represent output of the project supported by the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic (GA ČR 404/96/1034). The Studies were defended in 1998 and evaluated as excellent. 230 specialists participated in the project. After the defence, the work was extended by chapters on weaponry, glass industry, ceramics, and some passages on mechanical engineering, where originally no co-authors could be found. The latter parts and completion of the work were supported by the research project of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic (MK 0 CE Z99 F 0101). The work is divided into 30 chapters. In the form of manuscript, it contains 4 200 standard pages and 1380 illustrations; summaries in English and German are rather extensive (460 pages).
