==================== HES POSTING ===================
I just saw an announcement for a new book which might be of relevance to
studies of Dupuit and Cournot. I wonder if anyone has looked at the book
and can tell me if it is worth further examination for a historian of
economics.
The book is _Constructing a bridge: an exploration of engineering culture,
design, and research in nineteenth century France and America_, by Eda
Kranakis (MIT Press, 1997).
>From the Choice card, the book seems to focus on the educational,
professional, and institutional structure of engineering culture in France
and America in the 1800s.
