A film shown on Channel 4 in 2000, made by Windfall Films, partly devised and presented by Alan Macfarlane. Part of the series 'The Day the World took Off' Time: 15 September 1830 Place: Liverpool and Manchester. This film traces the journey of the 'Rocket' steam engine from Liverpool to Manchester. On the way it gives clues to some of the puzzles and theories to be explored in this six-part history of the world. Why did the industrial revolution occur in England first and what caused it? Why did science flourish in Europe? What happened to the early promise of the great civilizations of Islam and China? |
