But in this new biography, Ben Russell tells a much bigger, richer story, peering over Watts shoulder to more fully explore the processes he used and how his ephemeral ideas were transformed into tangible artifacts. Over the course of the book, Russell reveals as much about the life of James Watt as he does a history of Britains early industrial transformation and the birth of professional engineering.</p><p>To record this fascinating narrative, Russell draws on a wide range of resourcesfrom archival material to three-dimensional objects to scholarship in a diversity of fields from ceramics to antique machine-making. He explores Watts early years and interest in chemistry and examines Watts partnership with Matthew Boulton, with whom he would become a successful and wealthy man. In addition to discussing Watts work and incredible contributions that changed societies around the world, Russell looks at Britains early industrial transformation. Published in association with the Science Museum London, and with seventy illustrations, <em>James Watt</em> is not only an intriguing exploration of the engineers life, but also an illuminating journey into the broader practices of invention in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.</p><p><em>Published in association with the Science Museum, London</em></p>...4061281James Watt706861https://www.gandhi.com.mx/james-watt-9781780234021/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2675305/54a8af4b-6634-4f8d-9895-27dba74e3fac.jpg?v=638384299590830000https://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2672554/54a8af4b-6634-4f8d-9895-27dba74e3fac.jpg?v=638384295953930000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20149781780234021_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9781780234021_<p>Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer James Watt (17361819) is best known for his pioneering work on the steam engine that became fundamental to the incredible changes and developments wrought by the Industrial Revolution.
