"Survey of the mechanical devices that propelled 18th-century society into the 19th and 20th centuries. The book celebrates more than 200 years of technological development at the height of the Industrial Revolution. These are not generic inventions but rather specific, branded machines whose names in many cases have become synonymous with the machine or its purpose. The entries fall into eight categories relating to their sphere of influence: Industry, Agriculture, Media, Transport, Science, Computing, Energy and Home. Concise text describes the machines, what led to their invention, and the effects on society."--Publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 621.809 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 621.809 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 621.809 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 621.809 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 621.809 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) Adult Nonfiction 621.809 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 621.809 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList
