The Life and Legend of James Watt: Collaboration, Natural Philosophy, and the Improvement of the Steam Engine (Sci & Culture in the Nineteenth Century)

I was put off from reading so far, because the text is in characters too small for easy reading.

A thoroughly well researched tale of Watt’s life, including discussions of his science, patents, personal relationships, legacy, and much else besides. His business partnership with Matthew Boulton was one of the most formidable in the history of technology, heralding the dawn of the industrial revolution.

Fantastic book
