Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive account of the evolution of the steam engine in a way that will appeal to anyone fascinated by the interplay between science, technology, and the march of human civilization. Beginning with mythical and anecdotal origins of the steam engine, the author leads the reader on a historical journey through the centuries, describing how the steam engine, a simple concept in its earliest forms, advanced from philosophical speculation to become an integral part of the industrial revolution. The development of this machine serves as a window into the profound shifts in our understanding of energy and its applications, as well as a springboard for exploring the evolution of society's relationship to technology. From the writings of the ancient Greeks and Romans to the innovative minds of the 18th-century and beyond, this book uncovers the many individuals who contributed, over centuries, to the development of the steam engine, and examines their transformative impact on the world.
