Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book charts the pivotal inventions of the Industrial Revolution, a time of technological and societal upheaval, through the stories of their creators. It begins with Laurence Coster's accidental discovery of printing, which the author argues is as profoundly impactful as James Watt's later invention of the steam engine. The author shows how these new technologies spread across the globe and revolutionized everyday life: how books and steam power transformed education, industry, and communication. From Gutenberg's press to Watt's steam engine, this book celebrates the visionaries who shaped our world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
