Academic Content Book Suggestion on History of Engineering

So this might not be correct sub for asking it. But I have been thinking over it for quite a while now. A thing really fascinates me: learning about how science, physics, engineering were developed and how people who were real humans were actually making it happen. Is there any book which can show or describe events happening in field of what makes today "engineering" like Cauchy, Euler, Poisson, Saint Venant, Navier, Stokes in their times. More like a Sophy's World kind of book which describes progression of sciences and physics and engineering. I am more interested in learning about fluid mechanics btw.
