Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-28 00:00:00 Rozetta Bridgforth Interesting but too-general treatment of the inventions driving the Industrial Revolution through WWI. It gives two major impressions--that inventors tend to be horrible businessmen, and that there was a more exciting time than now when people were devoting their lives and energies to making machines that seemed impossible to make.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-08-20 00:00:00 Jeff Walker Pickstone`s thesis is that there are 3 different scientific methods Natural History, Analysis and Experimentalism and sees the history as some kinds of shift between the different methods.
