What Tudors Stuarts Did for Us (HB) by Adam Hart Davis
Tudor and Stuart England saw the most dramatic shifts in thinking and innovation since the Romans. It was a period that saw the emergence of Protestant churches, the increase in the power of parliament, the end of the feudal system, the development of empire, the union of Scotland and England and the emergence of some of the world's greatest scientists. Adam Hart-Davis illuminates the innovations of the period and shows how these Tudor and Stuart advancements have changed our world. Featuring demonstrations of Tudor and Stuart devices, Adam attempts to reconstruct a Tudor printing press, the first flushing toilet and to demonstrate the first stagecoach suspension, amongst many others.
Adam Hart-Davis is best known for presenting What the Romans Did for Us, What the Victorians Did For Us and Local Heroes, although he has many other television programmes to his credit. He also presents science programmes on Radio 4 and is the author of more than a dozen books including Chain Reactions and What the Victorians Did For Us.
