註釋"In Brunel: An Engineering Biography, author Adrian Vaughan, one of Britain's foremost railway historians and a leading authority on Brunel, has delved deep into the records to re-examine Brunel's legacy. Drawing upon many sources, including Brunel's own correspondence, he portrays the struggle that Brunel had in trying to achieve his aims and how far he was forced to rely upon others, most notably his father and those who were in day-to-day management of the various projects. Profusely illustrated with drawings and photographs, Brunel: An Engineering Biography is an exploration into the man, his methods and his work." "Historians and all those interested in Brunel will find that this book provides a fresh analysis of the great achievements as well as the failures of Brunel's career. Published to coincide with the bicentenary year of Brunel's birth, this new biography of the constantly innovating engineer reveals a story of a powerful personality who swept people along on the great adventures of his projects - whether destined for enduring success or cataclysmic failure."--BOOK JACKET.
