The Industrial Revolutionaries: The Making of the Modern World 1776-1914 by Gavin Weightman

4.0

This book did a great job of showing me how the Industrial Revolution was actually a series of people thinking, "How could I improve this? How I could I make this aspect of life easier?" It was very interesting, especially the part of how Japan opened up its borders to trade again.
