Alfred Yarrow His Life and Work is a comprehensive biography of the British engineer and shipbuilder, Alfred Yarrow. Written by Eleanor C. Barnes, the book chronicles Yarrow's life from his birth in 1842 to his death in 1932. Yarrow was a pioneering figure in the development of steam turbines and naval engineering, and his work had a significant impact on the British Navy during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book delves into Yarrow's early life, his education, and his early career as an engineer. It then goes on to explore his work with steam turbines and his involvement in the development of torpedo boats and destroyers. Yarrow's contributions to the British Navy during World War I are also discussed, as well as his later work in the field of aeronautics. Through extensive research, including interviews with Yarrow's family and colleagues, Barnes provides a detailed and engaging portrait of this important figure in British engineering history. The book is illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and plans of Yarrow's ships and machinery, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in naval history or the history of engineering. Overall, Alfred Yarrow His Life and Work is a fascinating and informative biography of a remarkable man whose innovations helped shape the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
