"James Watt (1736 - 1819) transformed the steam engine - the most significant invention of the Industrial Revolution. Without Watt there would have been no locomotives, steamships or factories where machines were energised by coal. Watt was, however, much more - a scientist who also developed the concept of horsepower, made the first commercial copying machine and gave his name to a unit of power - the Watt. This fascinating, complicated and iconic figure is depicted and considered in The Power to Change the World: James Watt (1736-1819) - A Life in 50 Objects." The book is in excellent condition. There are no inscriptions and all contents are tight and clean.
