Abstract

This traces the journey of the 'Rocket' steam engine from Liverpool to Manchester. On the way it gives clues to some of the puzzles and theories to be explored in this six-part history of the world. Why did science flourish in Europe? What happened to the early promise of the great civilizations of Islam and China?
