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. 606 $aScience and state$zFrance 606 $aScience$zFrance$xHistory 615 0$aScience and state 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 676 $a509/.44 700 $aGillispie$b Charles Coulston$044100 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795102003321 996 $aScience and polity in France$92300836 997 $aUNINA
