Автор, Дэвид Хатчисон, мастерски сплетает воедино исторические события, личные счета и технические детали, чтобы создать убедительный нарратив, который подчеркивает значение паровой энергетики в формировании промышленного ландшафта страны. На фоне холодной войны и космической гонки эта книга предлагает уникальный взгляд на пересечение технологий, политики и общества во время поворотного момента в истории человечества.

Этот технологический сдвиг трансформирует железные дороги, каналы и судостроительную промышленность страны, создавая новые возможности для роста и развития. Однако по прошествии десятилетий паровая революция сталкивается с проблемами, связанными с новыми технологиями, такими как дизельное топливо и ядерная энергетика. Сюжет сгущается по мере того, как автор исследует влияние пара на шотландское общество, раскрывая, как этот технологический прогресс повлиял на повседневную жизнь рабочих, фермеров и городских жителей. От оживленных улиц Глазго и Эдинбурга до отдаленного Хайленда Steam в Шотландии рисует яркую картину нации, переживающей переходный период.
