Beschreibung

Britain's Industrial Revolution was propelled by more than just factories; the British Canal System played a vital role. This book examines how a network of man-made waterways reshaped Britain's economic landscape, facilitating the distribution of raw materials and finished goods before railways dominated. 

 
The "canal mania" period saw rapid expansion, driven by the Bridgewater Canal's success. Efficient transportation became a catalyst for industrial growth, enabling cost-effective movement of bulk goods and unlocking economic expansion. 

 
The book delves into the engineering feats of canal construction, detailing locks, tunnels, and aqueducts. It explores the economic impact on industries like coal mining and textiles, using tonnage records and cost analyses to quantify the waterways' influence. 

 
By examining the pre-industrial transport limitations and the canals' subsequent decline with railway competition, the book provides a comprehensive view. Each chapter progresses chronologically, from the early canals to their lasting legacy and modern recreational use.

    'The moment was all; the moment was enough.'
    
    Published after Woolf's death by her husband, Leonard, The Moment and Other Essays offers twenty-nine short pieces of the modernist icon's stunning non-fiction, shrewdly exploring the meaning of art, literature and everyday life.
    
    Elegantly covering topics such as the nature of reality, the power of memory and the priceless value of literature, in this sophisticated collection of essays, Woolf more than ever focuses her attention on the fleeting moments of life that meaningfully shape the human experience. In the title essay, 'The Moment', she pursues the powerful, albeit brief, moments that enable a potent feeling of being utterly understood, and consequently, wholeheartedly alive. In other works, she paints considered portraits of writers such as Turgenev and Thoreau – an affectionate testament to their life and work. Written with her trademark style – contemplative, deeply personal and in places experimental – Woolf invites her readers to find the profound in the seemingly ordinary. This audiobook edition is brilliantly narrated by Tania Rodrigues.
    Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her stream of consciousness narrative style and influence on feminist criticism. Her works have been translated into over fifty languages and are widely read and adapted to this day.
