==================== 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.
