I read this with my 10 and 12 year old daughter. A brief overview of the Industrial Revolution. The book highlights key events, places, inventors, and inventions of the Industrial Revolution. This book has a lot of unnecessary repetition. My copy of this book was also printed with a double chapter at the end of the book and was missing a few pages.
