Second edition 1988.
At Ironbridge Gorge, a cradle of the Industrial Revolution, the latest wonders of engineering and metallurgical technology were to be seen in a spectacular natural setting in the 18th century.
Barrie Trinder has created an invaluable anthology of the pioneering period when this corner of Shropshire was changing the world and was indeed, as Charles Hulbert described it in 1837, 'the most extraordinary district in the world'. This book brings new understanding of the gorge itself and the industrial monuments preserved there.
Usato ottime condizioni, strappetti alla sovraccoperta, piccola ammaccatura alla copertina. (T-CA)
