| "The engineer is the key figure in the material progress of the world. It is his engineering that makes a reality of the potential value of science by translating scientific knowledge into tools, resources, energy and labor to bring them into the service of man ...

If there is a devil in history, it is this power principle." »Mikhail Aleksandrovich Bakunin |
