The second edition of this highly successful work identifies and updates the strategic changes in economic organization, industrial structure, and technological progress during the industrial revolution in Britain from 1750-1850.
This book was the beginning of my love with the Industrial Revolution. This lady has been a somewhat Teacher to me and throughout Universoty I quoted her as much as possible. This is by far the most valuable book I own and even though I am now a Historian and Author myself, I always use this book as a reference, when asked a question from readers.
This is a must have book for anybody who enjoys reading or researching about Social and Economic Britain during the 17th 18th 19th Centuries
Exceptionally well written and easy to digest, an absolute classic on the history of the industrial revolution. If you happen across a copy you will not be disappointed.
No descarto que, dada la antigüedad del libro, alguno de los análisis que la autora expone estén superados. Aun así, considero que es una buena lectura introductoria a ese periodo histórico.
