Reviews the development of engineering as a distinct profession and of the humanitarian movement as a special socio-political practice. Having noted that the two developments were situated in the same geographical and historical space - Europe and North America beginning in the 1700s - the book argues for a mutual influence and synthesis that has previously been lacking.
