title = "Herbert Hoover and the Transnational Lives of Engineers",
abstract = "Engineering was the largest of the new, modern professions unleashed by the Industrial Revolution, and during the hundred years between 1850 and 1950 many of those practitioners, especially in the areas of mining and civil works, were true cosmopolitans. The rage for exploration and exploitation during these years of High Imperialism created the context for and dictated the mobility of these transnational lives. The profession itself, and the men who followed it, sought out, embraced and were shaped by that experience.",
