Reviews

Good Introduction


(5 stars)

Good story about James Watt. This biography emphasizes his technological achievements and virtues. Another modern biography tends to regard him as a shrewd businessman at the same time. Thanks to Bill Boerst for giving another excellent narration.

reasonably good


(3 stars)
