Do investments in water quality and habitat restoration programs pay off? An analysis of the chemical and biological water quality of a lowland stream in the Zwalm River basin (Belgium)
The mere handicrafts
Technology, in the nineteenth-century sense of ‘science of the industrial arts’, comes in two varieties. The tradition of special technology began in 1777, when Beckmann published his Anleitung zur Technologie. The tradition of general technology began in 1806, when Beckmann published his Entwurf der allgemeinen Technologie. The former tradition entered France at the turn of the century. One of the more important French technological productions …
The Annales de l’Industrie (1820–1827)
In France, during the Restoration, various attempts at industrial modernization were made. One of these consisted in the circulation of technical ideas through industrial exhibitions and the technical press, the latter channel being represented by treatises, manuals, dictionaries and technological journals. One of the first of these journals was the Annales de l’industrie. This paper considers two aspects. First, the institutional environment: th…

Technology as the science of the industrial arts
In the 1820s and 1830s the German tradition of the scientific description of trades and manufactories initiated by Johann Beckmann in 1777 was continued in France by a number of scientists and technologists. Louis-Sébastien Lenormand was the outstanding representative of French "special" technology, who tried to enrich technical education with popularized empirical descriptions of the industrial arts with a view to "perfecting" technological oper…
From Tubal Cain to Faraday
La limite entre science et technologie a joue un role dans les etudes de Whewell sur l'histoire et la philosophie des sciences, et a egalement produit un effet dans ses propositions pratiques pour un enseignement liberal
Shocks and Sparks
The invention of the Voltaic pile in March 1800 is often regarded as the final blow to Galvani's theory of animal electricity. But good arguments for an alternative interpretation of the pile as a public demonstration device can be found. It was an amplifier of effects observed and described in 1797 and an essential part of the strategy of "multiplying one's witnesses" outlined by Shapin and Schaffer. Volta tried to win general recognition of his…
The conceptual structure of the technological sciences and the importance of action theory
