Impossible Engineering: Technology and Territoriality on the Canal du Midi - Princeton Studies in Cultural Sociology
Chandra Mukerji
The Canal du Midi, which threads through southwestern France and links the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, was an astonishing feat of seventeenth-century engineering - in fact, it was technically impossible according to the standards of its day. This book looks at the mystery of its success as well as the canal's surprising political significance.
