Great Book on History of Akron and the Rubber Industry,
By
This review is from: Wheels of Fortune: The Story of Rubber in Akron (Ohio History and Culture) (Hardcover)
As a native of Akron, OH, I was very interested in reading this book and learning the history of the city which was known as the Rubber Capitol of the World.This book is very well written and contains many beautiful sharp photos from the past. The rubber industry has had an effect on everyone. Learn how it all started and how the the creator of modern rubber died pennyless. I very highly recommend this book!

Excellent case study of how invention grew a city and the company-city relationship. Demonstrates the importance of innovation and how industries die if they don't embrace change. The effect on the Akron people is excellent. |
