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