James Watt by
L. T. C Rolt(
Book
)
17 editions published between 1962 and 1964 in English and Undetermined and held by 381 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The steam engine, more than any other invention, made possible the Industrial Revolution. And James Watt, more than any other inventor, was responsible for the steam engine. The transformation of England from an agricultural country with a largely rural population into the world's leading industrial and urban nation came about through the application of steam power to manufacturing processes. So there can be no arguing as to whether - for better or worse - James Watt was a Maker of Britain
