Description: "Collected articles survey aspects of technology related to engineering profession. Pt. 1  touches on indigenous and colonial technology, emphasizing 19th-century engineering schools and public works. Pt. 2 focuses on the 20th century up to 1945, examining engineering education, technological research, electricity, and steel. Pt. 3 examines post-1945 military and armaments, telecommunications, energy, computing, and nuclear sectors.  Little on agricultural technology. Like Telles' work (see item #bi 98008306#), a helpful starting place for research, although essays are short on bibliography"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
