Paperback. Zustand: 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.
