First published in 1988, this book arose from the author’s fascination with the period of the late eighteenth century and the two industries of cotton and steam that seem to characterise the period, the provision of power through the manufacture of steam engines and the rise to prominence of the cotton industry. Includes photographs and an exploration of people in these industries during the Industrial Revolution.
