The central theme of this book is the process through which steam power first emerged and then grew into a major industrial technology from the early eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. By applying contemporary economic theory to the history of technological change Dr Nuvolari argues that we can gain a better understanding of the factors that led to steam power becoming a driving force in the Industrial Revolution.
