Scientific and Industrial Revolutions: An Enthralling Guide to the Ideas, Inventions, and Upheavals That Forged the Modern Era - Hardcover

The centuries that rewired how we think - and the century that rewired how we live. From Galileo's telescope to Watt's steam engine.

Two manuscripts in one book:

• The Scientific Revolution: An Enthralling Exploration of Discoveries That Changed the World Forever
• Industrial Revolution: An Enthralling Look at How Machines and Factories Changed Our World

Two revolutions. One modern world.

This 2-in-1 book tells the linked story of the two upheavals that built the world you live in. The first changed how humanity understands reality. The second changed how humanity lives, works, and moves. Together they carry you from the quiet rebellion of a handful of stargazers to the roar of the first factory floors.

Part One: The Scientific Revolution

For more than a thousand years, the stars circled the Earth, the four humors ruled the body, and the words of Aristotle were treated as law. Then, between the 16th and 17th centuries, a small group of stargazers, artisans, doctors, and philosophers began to ask harder questions - and would not stop.

Part Two: The Industrial Revolution

One of the most dramatic shifts in human history. What began as a wave of invention turned into a complete transformation of how people lived, worked, and thought - with breakthroughs and costs in equal measure.
