Book excerpt: "There have been numerous books written about the development of the steamship but most deal with vessels built after Robert Fulton's commercial success of 1807 in America. Very few contain more than a line or so on the many earlier attempts made, and these at best only briefly mention William Symington. Both Fulton and Symington were contemporaries in their early but seperate endeavours between 1785 and 1807. Neither were commercially successful by Symingtons last vessel of 1803 and possibly his penultimate one of 1801, were the technical equal of the vessel built by Fulton in 1807." -- from dust jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In How Invention Begins, Lienhard reconciles the ends of invention with the individual leaps upon which they are built, illuminating the vast web of individual inspirations that lie behind whole technologies. He traces, for instance, the way in which thousands of people applied their combined inventive genius to airplanes, railroad engines, and automobiles. As he does so, it becomes clear that a collective desire, an upwelling of fascination, a spirit of the times--a Zeitgeist--laid its hold upon inventors. The thing they all sought to create was speed itself. Likewise, Lienhard shows that when we trace the astonishingly complex technology of printing books, we come at last to that which we desire from books--the knowledge, the learning, that they provide. Can we speak of speed or education as inventions? To do so, he concludes, is certainly no greater a stretch than it is to call radio or the telephone an "invention." Throughout this marvelous volume, Lienhard illuminates these webs of insight or inspiration by weaving a fabric of anecdote, history, and technical detail--all of which come together to provide a full and satisfying portrait of the true nature of invention.

Download or read book Lives of Boulton and Watt written by Samuel Smiles and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1865 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume concludes the author's 'Lives of the Engineers.' Its preparation was begun many years since. The favourable reception given to the 'Life of George Stephenson, ' the principal improver and introducer of the locomotive engine, encouraged the author to follow it by a Life of James Watt, the principal inventor and introducer of the condensing engine. On making inquiries, however, he found that the subject had already been taken in hand by J. P. Muirhead, Esq., the literary executor of the late Mr. Watt, of Aston Hall, near Birmingham. As Mr. Muirhead was in all respects entitled to precedence, and was, moreover, in possession of the best sources of information, the author's contemplated Life of Watt was abandoned, and he satisfied himself with embodying the substance of the materials he had collected in a review of Mr. Muirhead's work, which appeared in the 'Quarterly Review' for July, 1858

Book excerpt: The Steam Tug is a historical read about the evolution of the steam engine and steam tug. Developed and patented in England in 1737, the author takes the reader to the end of the roaring 1850s in New York Harbor. It was not until 1807 that Robert Fulton introduced the first commercially successful steamboat the “Clermont” on the Hudson River in New York. In the early 1800s sailing ships entering the harbor would lie at anchor in Sandy Hook for days and weeks waiting for wind to power them into the harbor so they could offload their cargo. Due to the expansion of shipping and commerce during the mid 1800s, sailing ships realized that small steam ferries operating between Staten Island and lower Manhattan could tow them into local wharfs to discharge their cargo and begin loading domestic goods to distant ports abroad saving valuable time. With the advent of large clipper ships, increased commerce and advanced steam boats, would lead to the rise and birth of a new industry, The Towing Business.

Book Synopsis Inventions that Changed the World by : Rodney Castleden
Download or read book Inventions that Changed the World written by Rodney Castleden and published by Canary Press eBooks. This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inventors have been inventing since time began, but which inventions do we value the most? A recent poll put the bicycle at number one on the basis that it is a simple, ecologically sound means of transport, and universally useful. It was seen as the best thing since sliced bread – except that sliced bread is a much more recent innovation than the bicycle; it was invented in 1927 by Otto Rohwedder. Tracing the origins of more than 230 inventions in chronological order, this book captures the essence of invention from 500,000 BC to the modern day, showing the historical significance of each and how ultimately their creation changed the world.
