This is a study of the process by which science in Britain was transported from the private laboratory into society, into industry, technology and culture at large. Covering the period from the Civil War to the French Revolution, it reveals the importance of science in the birth of the Industrial Revolution and the acceptance of science by society. This is the first account to introduce students and interested general readers to the debate over the emergence of modern science and the inception of the Industrial Revolution.
