One of the great minds of the 19th century, Isambard Kingdom Brunel was responsible for some of the most impressive engineering feats of his day. By the age of 26, he had been appointed chief engineer of the Great Western Railway, linking Bristol to London. His love of steamships led him to build a series of revolutionary vessels, including the Great Britain—the first steamship to cross the Atlantic. Illustrated with a wealth of blueprints, drawings, and rare photographs, this new biography tracks the life and achievements of this Victorian-era genius. A fascinating portrait of ambition and innovation, Brunel provides ample evidence to support the claim that Brunel was indeed "the man who built the world."

Brunel: The Man Who Built the World
I haven't read any other books on I.K.Brunel, so I don't know how this one measures up but I really loved reading this one! Despite knowing next to nothing about civil engineering, the book was very clear in explaining how Brunel began his career as an engineer and how he progressed from working with his father to being in charge of constructing bridges, ships and different architectural buildings. I feel the book also did well at portraying his overall character and his interactions with his family, colleagues and employees by making references to his own letters and the letters of others who've known him. The book appears to have a strong list of references, however as I said before, I have nothing to compare this to. I will say that if you are interested in Brunel and his works, I would recommend this as an easy read.
