To See the Unseen
This book relates the history of planetary radar astronomy from its origins in radar to the present day and secondarily to bring to light that history as a case of 'Big Equipment but not Big Science'. Chapter One sketches the emergence of radar astronomy as an ongoing scientific activity at Jodrell Bank, where radar research revealed that meteors were part of the solar system. The chief Big Science driving early radar astronomy experiments was io…
Historical Collections in Jeopardy
The Societe d'Encouragement pour l'Industrie Nationale, over its nearly two centuries of existence, has accumulated a treasure trove of books and documents invaluable to the history of applied science, technology, and engineering in France. However, these collections, and even the society's continuing existence, is little known to scholars. The nature of these collections, as well as various attempts to organize and preserve them, are described. …

356 Book Reviews TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Part 3 looks to wider applications of the quantifying spirit. Anders Lundgren notes the increasing use of quantitative forms to express chemical facts. He further argues that the quantification of the chemical revolution—often mentioned, but seldom examined—was influenced by economic interests and by experimental physics. The balance, for instance, was used in such practical arenas as metallurgy and assayin…

The Ecole superieure de Telegraphie and the Beginnings of French Electrcal Engineerng Education
Organized in 1878, the Ecole sup??rieure de T??l??graphie (EST) became the first school in France to offer a program in electrical engineering. Although the founding of later French electrical engineering schools involved local governments, private enterprise, the universities, and even the French electrical engineering society, the EST was established by the state specifically for telegraph instruction. This paper examines the establishment of t…
