Review
"Marsden declaims on the steam engine's putative inventor in a half-bemused, half-impressed tone that will amuse technology buffs in addition to giving them an appreciation for Watt's significance.... Crystal clear on technical points, Marsden is archly amusing in discussing how reputations are made." -- "Booklist"
