The hundred years that began with the Great Exhibition of 1851 and ended with the Festival of Britain in 1951 was a period of remarkable progress in science and technology. First published in 1951, A Century of Technology focuses on technology—the application of science to industry.

The book summarizes the state of affairs in 1851 and 1951, highlighting the outstanding events and personalities responsible for the century's progress. It consists of nineteen chapters written by specialists, many of whom played an important role in bringing about the advancements they describe. This volume is a valuable resource for readers interested in the history of technology and its application to industry.
