Engineering, Civil and Military --Conclusion --Bibliography --IndexBy the end of the eighteenth century, the French dominated the world of science. And although science and politics had little to do with each other directly, there were increasingly frequent intersections. This is a study of those transactions between science and state, knowledge and power--on the eve of the French Revolution. Charles Gillispie explores how the links between science and polity in France were related to governmental reform, modernization of the economy, and professionalization of science and engineering.Science and stateFranceScienceFranceHistoryElectronic books.Science and stateScienceHistory.509/.44Gillispie Charles Coulston44100MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910467936803321Science and polity in France2300836UNINA
