I. K. Brunel: The Nuts and Bolts - Michael Turner (Paperback) 01-03-2025

There are several Brunel biographical booklets, but this one is unique. Michael Turner is the first author to tabulate the Brunel story to present his life succinctly and chronologically using 824 facts alone! Furthermore, and surprisingly, this is the first booklet to include maps of Brunel locations and his railway empire hence, this volume reveals contextual geographical Brunel knowledge. Interestingly, besides including all the famous structures, the least-known of Brunel’s works and movements feature. The Brunel fieldworker, scholar, and armchair traveller alike, will enjoy this publication that encapsulates Brunel’s life: his engineering and landscape gardening achievements, personality, financial affairs, family life and travels at a comprehensive, pictorial glance. This is a booklet with a record amount of standard and lesser-known facts. Never was there so much information incorporated in so few pages. It is Brunel on-point throughout!
