A Short History of the British Industrial Revolution
Autor Emma Griffinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 noi 2010
Why was the British industrial revolution such a pivotal event in world history?
This succinct introduction explains what the Industrial Revolution was, when exactly it occurred and why it happened in Britain first. Providing a clear and compelling synthesis of the latest research on industrialization, and illustrated with newspaper articles, photographs and graphs, the book is aimed at students without any prior knowledge.
Griffin assesses the best known explanations for the industrial revolution, and argues that industrialization is to be understood chiefly as the switch to a new source of fuel (coal) coupled with the emergence of new technologies. Situating British industrialisation in a global context, she evaluates what benefits, if any, the world's first industrial revolution brought to the ordinary men and women whose labour made it happen.

Recenzii
This book is an ideal starting point for students studying the industrial revolution, offering up-to-date and penetrating coverage of existing scholarship, while subtly making an original contribution to our understanding of the causes and character of the world's first industrial revolution.
This book is an excellent introduction to the British Industrial Revolution. Emma Griffin has digested a wealth of complex debates to create a convincing two-phase model of growth which makes sense of living standards, population, natural resources and work.
