5.0 out of 5 stars
A colorful, emotional, and powerful set of readings and pictures,
This review is from: The Industrial Revolution: A History in Documents (Pages from History) (Hardcover)
I am eager to assign this as required reading in my world history courses at the university level. The primary documents are rich in information and will work well in discussion. The pictures and illustrations amplify the overall sense of the industrialization of Europe and its far-reaching effects. The book helpfully starts with the pre-industrial or proto-industrial economic system, then devotes most of its space to textile production, steam power, and mining, and finishes with the social effects and criticisms of the free-for-all period of capitalism. Socialist and trade union writings complete the book.
It is very impressive. At $38 it is a little pricey, but that's not uncommon. The good thing is that the teacher can discard the textbook and use books such as this one, and the students will appreciate it on several levels. |
