Book Synopsis The Industrial Revolutionaries by : Gavin Weightman
Book excerpt: Gavin Weightman shows how, in less than one hundred and fifty years, an unlikely band of scientists, spies, entrepreneurs, and political refugees took a world made of wood, powered by animals, wind, and water, and made it into something entirely new, forged of steel and iron, and powered by steam and fossil fuels. --from publisher description.
