Brunel's Kingdom is the story of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, told through the works he left behind. More than just a biography of this most famous British engineer, the book is designed to be used as a guide so that the reader can, if they wish, visit any of the relics, sites and structures featured within the book. This is an entertaining, readable and informative look at Brunel's life and career, part biography, part travel book, and lavishly illustrated. John Christopher takes a refreshing approach to look at the work of Brunel in this biographical account of the man often called the second greatest Briton of all time.
