The Steam Engine - a Breakthrough in Energy (Turning points in history)
By Richard Tames.
Description
Designed to tie in with the National Curriculum, this study of the development of the steam engine is one of a series examining major historical watersheds. The book recounts the chain of events leading up to the steam engine's invention, and the repurcussions, both immediate and long-term. It also discusses the concept of an historical turning point, assessing in what way this really was one. Interpretations throughout aim to show how history is informed by a complicated web of divergent views. - from Amzon
