  • "The program focuses on the industrial revolution in Great Britain. It begins with Europe's first energy crisis, a shortage of wood in the 17th century because Europe's forests had been devastated to fire the furnaces of the Middle Ages. The resulting search for new energy sources turned England to the use of coal and coke, and this led to invention of the steam engine and the railroad. These two inventions transformed industrial society. The symbol of the era was steel - the Eiffel Tower."@en
  • "In the late sixteenth century, because of a shortage of wood, industry in Britain was forced to turn to other energy sources such as coal. The discovery of how to make coal into coke began the Industrial Revolution, which in turn led to the development of the steam engine and the transformation of industry. The invention of Sheffield Steel and the Bessemer process combined to give the world cheap steel."@en
