The papers in this volume represent the first attempt at a coherent
analysis of the institutional structure of French science and
technology in the nineteenth century. They treat both research and
education and cover the main developments in the period from the
establishment of the Napoleonic University in 1808 to the outbreak
of the First World War. The papers reflect the intense interest in
the social history of French science since the Revolution and
convey a vivid impression of different modes of thought in a
particularly active field of research. The contributions stress and
develop more clearly than in any previous study, the theme of
structural change in a complex interlocking network of
institutions. Far from being an unresponsive monolith, France's
system of scientific research and education proved capable of
significant modification and expansion, especially in the later
nineteenth century. To an extent that has not been fully recognised
by historians, the French did respond to the changing demands of an
industrialising economy and to the intellectual, economic and
political challenge of the new Germany - a point that needs to be
taken into account in discussions of the supposed decline of French
science in the nineteenth century.

The evolution of the state of many systems modeled by linear
partial di?erential equations (PDEs) or linear delay di?erential
equations can be described by ope- torsemigroups.Thestate ofsucha
systemis anelementin anin?nite-dimensional normed space, whence the
name "in?nite-dimensional linear system". The study of operator
semigroups is a mature area of functional analysis, which is still
very active. The study of observation and control operators for
such semigroups is relatively more recent. These operators are
needed to model the - teraction of a system with the surrounding
world via outputs or inputs. The main
topicsofinterestaboutobservationandcontroloperatorsareadmissibility,obse-
ability, controllability, stabilizability and detectability.
Observation and control operators are an essential ingredient of
well-posed linear systems (or more gen- ally system nodes). In this
book we deal only with admissibility, observability and
controllability. We deal only with operator semigroups acting on
Hilbert spaces. This book is meant to be an elementary introduction
into the topics m- tioned above. By "elementary" we mean that we
assume no prior knowledge of ?nite-dimensional control theory, and
no prior knowledge of operator semigroups or of unbounded
operators. We introduce everything needed from these areas. We do
assume that the reader has a basic understanding of bounded
operators on Hilbert spaces, di?erential equations, Fourier and
Laplace transforms, dist- butions and Sobolev spaces on
n-dimensional domains. Much of the background needed in these areas
is summarized in the appendices, often with proofs.
Mark Weber, the sole owner and chief executive of a worldwide
multilayer conglomerate returned home after an exhausting week.
Quickly retiring and falling into a deep sleep, he dreamed that he
mysteriously appeared in Jerusalem during the time of the final
days of Christ. He was given the gift of tongues, being able to
read and speak all languages. He also had the ability to converse
telepathically. During his brief visit, he became romantically
involved with the daughter of a biblical personality. Returning to
his own bed, he was in shock when he awoke and realized that it had
not been a dream. He revisited Jerusalem as he had fallen in love
with the daughter, and although he knew that it was impossible to
ever see her again, he felt the urge to be close to where he had
last been with her. During this trip he met two others who had an
experience similar to his and on the same night. They were also
granted the gift of conversing in all languages including
telepathic ability. It developed that they were the only apparent
opposition to a totally capable and evil super genius, who had
charmed most people of the world, and was well along in his intent
to be their ruler. Many attempts on their lives were made by the
evil genius, as he was aware that only they knew the truth about
him, and could ruin his well laid plans.
Mark Weber, after retiring for the night, was transported in time
to Jerusalem at the time of the final days of Christ. He
experienced the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, on what is now known
as Palm Sunday. In a very brief stay, he was given the ability to
read and speak all languages. Returning to his own bed, he was in
shock when he awoke and realized that it had not been a dream. He
met and joined forces with two others who had a parallel
experience. They were the only apparent opposition to an evil super
genius, who had charmed most people, and who was well along in his
intent to be their ruler.
Long and recurring illnesses have burdened sick people and their
doctors since ancient times, but until recently the concept of
"chronic disease" had limited significance. Even lingering diseases
like tuberculosis, a leading cause of mortality, did not inspire
dedicated public health activities until the later decades of the
nineteenth century, when it became understood as a treatable
infectious disease. Historian of medicine George Weisz analyzes why
the idea of chronic disease assumed critical importance in the
twentieth century and how it acquired new meaning as one of the
most serious problems facing national healthcare systems. Chronic
Disease in the Twentieth Century challenges the conventional wisdom
that the concept of chronic disease emerged because medicine's
ability to cure infectious disease led to changing patterns of
disease. Instead, it suggests, the concept was constructed and has
evolved to serve a variety of political and social purposes. How
and why the concept developed differently in the United States, the
United Kingdom, and France are central concerns of this work. In
the United States, anxiety about chronic disease spread early in
the twentieth century and was transformed in the 1950s and 1960s
into a national crisis that helped shape healthcare reform. In the
United Kingdom, the concept emerged only after World War II, was
associated almost exclusively with proper medical care for the
elderly population, and became closely linked to the development of
geriatrics as a specialty. In France, the problems of elderly and
infirm people were handled as technical and administrative matters
until the 1950s and 1960s, when medical treatment of elderly people
emerged as a subset of their wider social marginality. While an
international consensus now exists regarding a chronic disease
crisis that demands better forms of disease management, the
different paths taken by these countries during the twentieth
century continue to exert profound influence. This book seeks to
explain why, among the innumerable problems faced by societies,
some problems in some places become viewed as critical public
issues that shape health policy.

George Weisz offers a comprehensive analysis of the French
university system during the latter half of the nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries. Examining the major reforms of higher
education undertaken during the Third Republic, he argues that the
original thrust for reform came from within the educational system,
especially from an academic profession seeking to raise its
occupational status.
