His workshop became in its day the equivalent of Google and Apple combined, attracting the country’s best in engineering talent. Their story of innovation and ambition tells how precision engineering made the industrial revolution possible, helping Great Britain become the workshop of the world.

A fascinating book detailing the evolution of engineering in the 1800's. A well written history of how British engineering evolved from a single man and his workshop in London. Covers most of the key engineers who developed precision mass production and built Britain into the worlds leading "Metal Basher". Highly recommended to anyone interested in engineering evolution.

Scholarly, informed, insightful and very well written: if you know David Waller's other books you'all appreciate that he writes fluidly - as you'd expect from a journalist.
