I see a lot of parallels between Elon and Isambard Kingdom Brunel's careers. Brunel was an excellent marketeer who consistently over-promised and under delivered. He also drove technology forward more than anyone else of his generation. When Brunel was making the…
我特别喜欢看冷门的维基百科页面登上首页。关于这个话题，我强烈推荐《The Lost Works of Isambard Kingdom Brunel》这本书。读一读他对桥梁和铁路的深远影响非常过瘾，还能认出几处我多年前去伦敦时见过的景点，感觉挺妙的。
I love seeing random Wiki pages hit the front page. On this topic I can highly recommend the book "The Lost Works of Isambard Kingdom Brunel". It was a fascinating read to learn of his impact on both bridges and trains, and neat to see a few sights from my visit to London years ago.
You might want to look at a biography of Andrew Carnegie? Isambard Kingdom Brunel (and more, his father) might also be worth a look. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cl%C3%A4renore_Stinnes and her father also make for great reading.
On the other hand, you have the man who built several of the biggest, which were also in many cases the first, successes in several different areas of engineering: Isambard Kingdom Brunel[0]. He built the largest ocean-going vessel of his time (the Great Western and the even bigger Great Eastern), the first tunnel under a navigable river (the Thames Tunnel), the longest bridge of its…
…remember reading a biography of him, but I don't remember which one it was (nor whether it was particularly good). Sorry. You could do worse than starting at Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isambard_Kingdom_Brunel Their article is quite extensive, and many parts have their own stand-alone articles. You can follow the 'Further Reading' section at the bottom of the article to find some suggestions for books.
我觉得马斯克和伊桑巴德·金德姆·布鲁内尔（Isambard Kingdom Brunel）的职业生涯有很多相似之处。布鲁内尔是个绝佳的营销大师，但总是吹得天花乱坠却难以完全兑现。不过他也比同辈中的任何人都更有力地推动了技术进步。当年布鲁内尔在建造……

你或许可以看看安德鲁·卡内基（Andrew Carnegie）的传记？伊桑巴德·金德姆·布鲁内尔（Isambard Kingdom Brunel，还有他父亲）也值得了解一下。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cl%C3%A4renore_Stinnes 以及她的父亲读起来也很有意思。

另一方面，还有一位在多个不同工程领域造就了数个规模最大、且往往也是首开先河的壮举之人：伊桑巴德·金德姆·布鲁内尔[0]。他建造了当时最大的远洋轮船（大西方号，以及体量更庞大的大东方号）、第一条通航河流下的水下隧道（泰晤士隧道），以及当时跨度最长的桥梁……

……记得读过一本关于他的传记，但不记得是哪一本了（也不记得写得好不好了）。抱歉哈。其实从维基百科看起就挺不错 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isambard_Kingdom_Brunel 那个条目内容很详实，而且很多板块都有专门的独立条目。你可以根据词条底部的“延伸阅读”（Further Reading）找找推荐的书单。
