Summary:In the 20th century, science and technology became central to territorial transformation and in turn to state building. This was no less true for the Francoist regime.

This book traces concrete material objects in their way from laboratories onto the Spanish landscape. The material history of these projects offers new perspectives on the political, economic, and environmental history of early Francoism.
