About the Author

Glyn Jones studied for a B.Sc. in Engineering and a M.Phil. in the diffusion of innovation. There has been substantial experience in industrial engineering, particularly in plant design for process development. Moves to teach at Shrewsbury Technical College and Christ Church College at Canterbury as Senior Lecturer led to responsibility for devising courses in technology for students of education, often with historical aspects, and to similar teaching in the Open University. Preparation for `The Millers' included wide reading in industrial history and in modern theoretical work on technical change.

Reviews

`Overall this is a most important publication, produced to the usual high standards we have come to expect from Carnegie at a reasonable cost.' Industrial Archaeology Review `This book is a pleasure to use. It is soundly bound and printed well with clear illustrations and a substantial index. It is a book not only for the recorder of historic mills, but also for students of engineering and social skills in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.' Transactions of the Newcomen Society.
