`But What is a Chemical Engineer?': Profiling the Membership of the British Institution of Chemical Engineers, 1922–1956. [REVIEW]Robin Mackie - 2000 - Minerva 38 (2):171-199.details This paper examines the membership of the professionalassociation of chemical engineering in Britain – the Institutionof Chemical Engineers – during its first three decades. Usingcollective methods of biography, it explores how long it took forclear boundaries to develop between this membership and the widerchemical community. Delineation was linked to the development ofan academic discipline. This paper argues that the indeterminateconstituency of the IChemE delayed growth, but allowed it to playa key role in shaping the development of the new profession. Download Export citation Bookmark
The Survival of 19th-Century Scientific Optimism: The Public Discourse on Science in Belgium in the Aftermath of the Great War.Sofie Onghena - 2011 - Centaurus 53 (4):280-305.details In historiography there is a tendency to see the Great War as marking the end of scientific optimism and the period that followed the war as a time of discord. Connecting to current (inter)national historiographical debate on the question of whether the First World War meant a disruption from the pre-war period or not, this article strives to prove that faith in scientific progress still prevailed in the 1920s. This is shown through the use of Belgium as a case study, (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation

‘ Kriegsgeologen and practical men’: military geology and modern memory, 1914–18.Roy Macleod - 1995 - British Journal for the History of Science 28 (4):427-450.details By 1918, four years of total war had produced a complete mobilization of scientists, scholars and their institutions throughout Europe, the British Empire, and the United States. Public men spoke freely of the implications of a ‘technological war’ run by engineers and chemists. And in the years following the Armistice, historians were eager to record the achievements of the professions, and the effects of the war on their self-image. Memories of the First World War, as Paul Fussell reminds us, remain (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
