...successful. Its hero, who is blind in one eye, sees the tail end of a murder in a forest near London. After he is temporarily blinded in the other eye by an accident, the murderers capture him, and the action gets under way as a dipsomaniac doctor prepares to pour acid in the hero's good eye. The chase in the dark has the reader identified with the hero all the way. Justice, as it must in such a tale, triumphs...

But the biggest part of the change is the revolution in construction thinking; today, there is almost no project too big to tackle, no reasonable limit to reshaping the earth to make it more productive. Only 70 years...
