In 1710 an obscure Devon ironmonger Thomas Newcomen invented a
machine with a pump driven by coal, used to extract water from
mines. Over the next two hundred years the steam engine would be at
the heart of the industrial revolution that changed the fortunes of
nations. Passionately written and insightful, A Brief History of
the Age of Steam reveals not just the lives of the great inventors
such as Watts, Stephenson and Brunel, but also tells a narrative
that reaches from the US to the expansion of China, India and South
America. Crump shows how the steam engine changed the world.
