About this product
Product Information
In the Victorian era, James Watt became an iconic engineer, but in his own time he was also an influential chemist. David Philip Miller examines Watt's illustrious engineering career in light of his parallel interest in chemistry, arguing that Watt's conception of steam engineering relied upon chemical understandings.

Reviews
"Miller concludes his fascinating study of reputation with an analysis of Watt's indicator in its late-eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century manifestations." --Victorian Studies, "The analysis is consistently convincing, the range of sources consulted is impressive, and the prose is direct and simple--yet always interesting." --Metascience, "A tremendous piece of scholarship . . . should be read not just by by students of Watt but also by scholars concerned with chemistry, engineering, commemoration and reputation building from the mid-eighteenth century." --British Journal for the History of Science, "Miller has an enjoyable writing style. . . . The balance of the book is good and the 16-page bibliography is very wide ranging." --Notes & Records of the Royal Society, "Miller concludes his fascinating study of reputation with an analysis of Watt's indicator in its late-eighteenth-century and ninteenth-century manifestations." --Victorian Studies, "Miller adds significantly to our understanding of phlogistic chemistry in late eighteenth-century Britain and, via his account of Watt's role in the 'water controversy,' the Chemical Revolution itself. . . . It is a measure of his considerable acumen and talents as a historian that he achieves his novel and illuminating insights through a carefully crafted, exhaustively documented and tightly argued analysis of a period in the history of science which, though still poorly understood, transformed our comprehension and utilization of that most ubiquitous and precious substance, water." --Annals of Science, "Will be especially valuable to readers interested in the science of the period. Highly recommended." --Choice

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
