The book delves into the intricate development of the steam engine, discussing the contributions of many inventors and theorists leading up to James Watt, who is often credited with perfecting the technology. Its exploration not only highlights technological advancements but also situates these within the cultural and scientific contexts of their time. At the start of this work, the author reflects on the importance of understanding the evolution of the steam engine, noting that numerous cultures have documented relevant developments throughout history. Geitel introduces a series of key figures from ancient to modern times, such as Heron of Alexandria and Dionysius Papin, establishing a framework for the discussion of patents issued in England and their significance. He emphasizes that the steam engine's history is not just the tale of one inventor, but a collective effort spanning centuries, indicating a rich tapestry of inventions and studies that laid the groundwork for Watt's contributions and their lasting impact on technology and industry.
