This book provides a comprehensive account of the evolution of the steam engine in a way that will appeal to anyone fascinated by the interplay between science, technology, and the march of human civilization. Beginning with mythical and anecdotal origins of the steam engine, the author leads the reader on a historical journey through the centuries, describing how the steam engine, a simple concept in its earliest forms, advanced from philosophical speculation to become an integral part of the industrial revolution.
