The Industrial Revolutionaries
The making of the modern world, 1776-1914

Industrial revolution and lack of it was one of main factors why China had one hundred years of history being bullied by western power and Japan. When I was in school, Watt, Stephenson and Edison were the heroes.
This book tells a lot of stories about many interesting people in that era. It also tells the development of many industries such as iron and steel making, steam engine and internal combustion engine, oil and coal, canal and railroad, chemical, telegraph, etc.
It's a very informative book. Definitely worth reading.
