BEST KNOWN AS THE LEADING HISTORIAN OF FRENCH RAILWAYS, Francois
Caron has also conducted significant research on other aspects of
economic development in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries,
such as electricity, water and steam power, the theory of
innovation, and the structure of enterprise. In this volume, he
brings together different facets of his expertise to present a
broad panorama of modern technological history. Caron shows how
artisanal know-how was adapted, expanded, and formalized during the
three industrial revolutions that swept over Great Britain, France,
Germany, and the United States, resulting in a comprehensive
analysis of this long, complex, and continuous historical process,
leading up to the twenty-first century. He thereby illustrates the
increasingly fruitful interaction between technological and
scientific knowledge in modern times.
