Great book, not what I expected. Rosen's history of invention in the steam age is fascinating and detailed. His greatest point is that invention and ingenuity thrive under certain conditions and he shows how legal, cultural, and other factors helped create those conditions in the UK and allowed for the birth of the steam age. Two inventions of the 19th century, the electric telegraph and the electric telephone, made reliable instantaneous communication over great distances possible for the first effects on commerce, diplomacy, military operations, journalism, and myriad aspects of everyday life were nearly immediate and proved to be long-lasting.

[Philip Arthur Sauvain; Jim Robins] -- Simple text and illustrations describe some of the major inventions from prehistoric times through the eighteenth century. Steam power developed slowly over a period of several hundred years, progressing through expensive and fairly limited devices in the early 17th century, to useful pumps for mining inand then to Watt's improved steam engine designs in the late 18th century.
It is these later designs, introduced just when the need for practical power was growing due to the Industrial Revolution, that. Inventions and Discoveries. James Watt's invention of the steam engine in Britain toward the end of the eighteenth century launched the Industrial Revolution; Americans were quick to adopt Watt's new technology by applying steam power to water transportation and by modifying British steam-powered vehicles like the locomotive to the American.

Note: Dates for inventions are often controversial. Inventions are often invented by several inventors around the same time, or may be invented in an impractical form many years before another inventor improves the invention. The 19th century was the age of machine tools—tools that made tools and machines that made parts for other machines, including interchangeable parts.
The 19th century brought us the assembly line, speeding up the factory production of goods. It also gave birth to the notion of a professional scientist. Before this era, people used horse-and-buggy carriages to get around, and mining practices were also labor-intensive and inefficient.
James Watt, a Scottish engineer, didn't develop the steam engine, but he did dream up a more efficient version in the s, adding a separate condenser and forever changing the mining industry. Inventions save us time and money: Before the invention of printing, books cost as many złotych or even rubles as they now cost groszy [a grosz being a hundredth of a złoty –Translator].
