Dreams of Iron and Steel: Seven Wonders of the Nineteenth Century, from the Building of the London Sewers to the Panama Canal by Deborah Cadbury

4.0

informative medium-paced

I appreciated the historical research that was put into this, however I would have loved to see lesser known innovations (or maybe I’ve read too much on the transcontinental railroad?). Absolute favorite chapter was about the Atlantic cable and the fact that it’s how we literally have wifi today!
