This fast-moving survey examines everything from the steamers of the Industrial Revolution to the many motors in the modern home.
They are the machines that drive the world, literally. From cars to can-openers, ENGINES are everywhere.
MODERN MARVELS® stokes the fires and sets off on a whirlwind tour of the world of power, throwing open hoods, peering into the cowlings of jets, and ignoring signs of "no user serviceable parts inside" to expose the secrets of a host of different motors. From the steam engines of the Industrial Revolution to the rockets that propelled man into space, ENGINES concentrates on the power plants that have had a profound effect on the way we live, but that doesn't mean it overlooks the little ones--in fact, the coming micro-technology motors promise to add a jolt of power to a whole new range of devices.
We are a society obsessed with power, and here is the inside story of the devices that deliver the goods.
