Description

When Andrew Carnegie was first asked by his publishers to write a biography of the great James Watt, he initially refused. Considering that he had many other, more pressing matters to attend to, he had temporarily failed to realize the magnitude of the idea. Haunted by it, however, he was compelled to go back and ask them to grand him the chance of researching, understanding and writing about the great inventor from his own unique perspective.

The result stands before you: an outstanding biographical work that will provide you with invaluable details about James Watt – the man and the inventor. At the same time, it will also bring you a few fascinating insights about Carnegie’s own personality and show you just what happens when one of history’s great personalities has the privilege of writing about another of equal achievement.

James Watt was a Scottish inventor, chemist and mechanical engineer who lived in the 1700s, and managed to take science and engineering to the next great level. His greatest accomplishment was to perfect the design of the steam engine, a machine that was already put to good use through Thomas Newcomen’s design from 1712. With the changes brought by Watt, however, as well as his initiatives in broadening the use of the engine well beyond the simple goal of pumping water, he managed to play a key role in the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th century.

Carnegie managed to put in a great deal of work to make James Watt’s biography not only easy to read and understand, but also highly informative. You’ll find a great deal of insight both on Watt’s life and his accomplishments. Carnegie’s clear explanations of many of Watt’s remarkable accomplishments in science and engineering will not only be quite illuminating and easy to grasp, but also incredibly clear – proving that Carnegie himself had a great deal of knowledge beyond his widely accepted image of an active and successful business tycoon and philanthropist.
