"From the beginning of the eighteenth century to the high watermark of the Victorian era, the world was transformed by a technological revolution - the like of which had never been seen before. ... Thomas Crump introduces the inventors, businessmen, scientists and explorers, who all had their part to play in the story of the Industrial revolution. He looks at how its scientific, technological and political changes spread across the world to [the United States of] America, Europe, and the Empire."--Back cover.
