Engineering transformed the world completely between the 17th and 21st centuries.

Remarkable Engineers tells the stories of 51 of the key pioneers in this transformation, from the designers and builders of the world's railways, bridges and aeroplanes, to the founders of the modern electronics and communications revolutions.

The focus throughout is on their varied life stories, and engineering and scientific detail is kept to a minimum.
