This book suggests that scientific and technological practices entered the territory of the nineteenth century are essential to the experience of modernity and are a fundamental historical element to the understanding of contemporary Portugal. Sharing a precision culture imposed by the numbers, along with the military ethical values, engineers are the main characters of this narrativa.Três concrete episodes allow for a set of reading, sequential and chronological, scientific-technical construction of the country.
