Book excerpt: Beginning with an account of Sir Harry's family background and education at Rugby and Cambridge, this book traces his life's work through six decades. This period witnessed profound changes in the social and industrial fabric of Great Britain, brought about by the arrival of the very motor cars and airplanes that he championed so enthusiastically. During that time, as a consultant engineer, he played a vital role in bringing about British victory in two world wars. Yet because he always preferred the role of an independent consultant, his name was never directly connected with any specific make of car or airplane. Nonetheless, his efforts behind the scenes for such companies as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Citroen and Fiat led to innumerable advances in the performance of civilian and military engines during the inter-war years. He died in 1974, having seen Ricardo Consulting Engineers grow to become the world's foremost engine research establishment. The company continues to go from strength to strength as one of the last successful vestiges of the British motor industry that remains in British ownership.

Book excerpt: "Engines of Enterprise tells this dramatic story in a sequence of narrative essays written by preeminent historians and ecconomists. These essays chart the changing fortunes of entrepreneurs and venturers, businessmen and inventors, and common folk toiling in fields, in factories, and in air-conditioned offices. The authors describe how, short of staple crops, colonial New Englanders turned to the sea and built an empire; and how the region became the earliest home of the textile industry as commercial fortunes underwrote new industries in the nineteenth century. They show us the region as it grew ahead of the rest of the country and as the rest of the United States caught up. And they trace the transformation of New England's products and exports from cotton textiles and machine tools to such intangible goods as education and software.
