Another in MacAulay's great books, showing how an Industrial-Revolution era mill (in this case) was built, along with how it fit into the culture that created it. His other books in the same spirit are Castle, Cathedral, Pyramid, City, Mosque, and Unbuilding. Lots of fun to read with or without kids.
