An illustrated biography of Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-59), the
foremost engineer in an age of great engineers, when the Industrial
Revolution was at its height and Britain, its birthplace, was the
vibrant hub of a world empire. It presents the story of this
perfectionist, the setbacks and challenges he faced, and the
results of his work. A vivacious, dynamic perfectionist, Isambard
kingdom Brunel drove others hard and himself first of all. Learn
how he constructed the world's first underwater tunnel, the Clifton
Suspension Bridge, the Great Western Railways and even steamships
the size of which the world had never seen before. Much of his work
is still part of British infrastructure today.His splendid legacy
makes it easy to think that Brunel's life was throughout one of
golden achievement. However, disaster, failure, ridicule and death
were never far away - which makes the story of this clever,
charismatic, driven man all the more fascinating.
