About this item
| Description: | The nature and history of industrial and agricultural technology is one way in which England achieved and held its great Empire. By the eighteenth century England had the most advanced agriculture (in terms of non-human power - wind, water, animals, coal) in the world; and it then used carbon energy through industrialization based on steam some fifty years before any other country. So it was powerful - but how could it escape, for the first time in history, the agrarian constraints? |
