What the Industrial Revolution Did For Us: Material World - XA007/01VDan Cruickshank explores one of the most inventive and surprising periods in history. Among the incredible achievements of the Industrial Revolution are not just the Spinning Jenny and the steam engine, but the first jigsaw, the first stethoscope, the first tinned food and even the first office photocopiers. Dan traces the origins of this revolution back to the unlikeliest of places, the tea tables of Georgian Britain where an appetite for the good life helped to create our modern, material world.
