Learning on ScreenWhat the Industrial Revolution Did for Us: Material World
- Synopsis
- Dan Cruickshank looks at the achievements of the Industrial Revolution: amongst them not only the Spinning Jenny and the steam engine, but the first jigsaw, the first stethoscope, the first tinned food and even the first office photocopiers. Cruickshank traces the origins of this revolution back to the tea tables of Georgian Britain where an appetite for the good life helped to create the modern world.
