I inherited habit of book reading from my parents. Although by profession i am an engineer but due to this habit have vast knowledge of several fields. During my visit to USA a few years back i had bought a few (only 15) books for myself. Besides i started exploring internet for new books and while looking for world economy history found about Mathew Boulton. I read about his life and all achievements along with his partner James Watt. At that time i had no idea that one day i will land in the historical city that was centre of wealth and power for world in mid 18th century “Birmingham”. The most interesting thing the taxi i took from airport dropped me in front of a campus in City Centre named "Mathew Boulton campus". That day i decided to make web page and documentary on this revolutionary figure.

Scarcely a day passes without a visit from some distinguished personage.”Matthew Boulton on visitors to the Soho Manufactory, 1767
