| Gavin Weightman presents an engrossing account of the creation and spread of industrial societies since the late 18th century, giving equal prominence to innovation, entrepreneurs and the transmission of technologies between countries. From 'Iron Mad' Wilkinson, who supplied Paris with water pipes in 1781, to the British khaki dye crisis on the eve of the First World War, the book offers stories of individuals, technologies, industries and espionage in countries as far flung as Russia, America and Japan.Slightly off-mint. | ||||
