Solar 98
Genius bridge-maker, shipbuilder, railway designer and almost almost polymath-like civil engineer extraordinaire, Brunel tried his hand at almost everything during his lifetime, achieving large amounts of success due to his extraordinary personal drive.
Brunel came second in a BBC poll on the 100 Greatest Britons for his achievements, but this account forces an examiantion of the definition of success. He took multiple large projects simultaneously, treating them as personal challenges, leading to spectacular results, but his perfectionism also led to his inability to meet deadlines, and to the massive financial losses incurred to shareholders; he often delivering major projects years left and several hundred percent over budget.
This biography is extremely critical, defying many of the claims made by Rolt in his book, and publishing letters showing him to be rude and arrogant, obsessed with his personal glory, a selfish lobbyist and obsessive micromanager with whom it was extremely difficult for anyone to work due to his demand for absolute control and credit over all aspects of any project, although this did not mean he would accept the blame for failures.
At times heavy for its focus on the technical aspects of his designs, describing numerous bridge structures, ship designs and rail mechanisms, but weaving the story of his life in well. All in all, a less than glowing review of his life, which uncovers unpleasant aspects of the man as well as the achievements he is usually remembered for. A reminder of what pure motivation can achieve, but also a remidner that great professional success often comes at great personal cost or sacrifice, including to his family life, health and relationships with the people around him.
