Many of you will know about Isambard Kingdom Brunel, but how much do you know about his father, the French engineer Marc Brunel? This father-and-son duo changed the world in which they lived, and their brilliant ideas still affect our lives today. This is a tale of revolution and invention, of grand successes and spectacular failures, and of two extraordinary men whose works span continents and whose creations have become a lasting legacy.
