[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","The intellectual heritage of MIT: an account of \"the flow of ideas\" about science and education that shaped the Institute as it emerged and that inspires it today. The motto on the seal of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, \"Mens et Manus\"--\"mind and hand\"--signals the Institute's dedication to what MIT founder William Barton Rogers called \"the most earnest cooperation of intelligent culture with industrial pursuits.\" Mind and Hand traces the ideas about science and education that have shaped MIT and defined its mission--from the new science of the Enlightenment era and the ideals of representative democracy spurred by the Industrial Revolution to new theories on the nature and role of higher education in nineteenth-century America. MIT emerged in mid-century as an experiment in scientific and technical education, with its origins in the tension between these old and new ideas. Mind and Hand was undertaken by Julius Stratton after his retirement from the presidency of MIT and continued by Loretta Mannix after his death; Philip N. Alexander, of the MIT Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies, stepped in to complete the project. The combined efforts of these three authors have given us what Julius Stratton envisioned--\"a coherent account of the flow of ideas\" from which MIT emerged."]

[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","\"Insurance today is a global economic colossus and a fixture in the developed countries of the world. Dependant upon a considerable dose of moral exhortation and enlightened appeal, the insurance industry has become a pervasive agent of social and economic control through its delineation of acceptable (compensated) and unacceptable (uncompensated) risk. The Appeal of Insurance traces the ways in which insurance, over the past three centuries, has grown in concert "]

Drawing on the fields of history, sociology, criminology and economics, these essays break new ground in insurance studies by illuminating the dialectical relationship between the expansion of the insurance business and the public demand for economic and social security.\"--Pub. desc."]
