Description - Pre-industrial Britain by Roy A. Church
The Economic History Society, in association with Blackwell
Publishers, announces the publication in eleven volumes of a new
collection of seminal articles on the industrial revolutions
worldwide.
Each volume includes twenty to twenty-five articles representing
the most influential writing on the subject, accompanied by
editorial introductions surveying the main strands of intellectual
advancement and the important conceptual advances that have
characterized research on the topics under consideration.
The collection forms a set of volumes on all aspects of the
Industrial Revolution, providing a unique resource for libraries
with collections in economics and history. Together, they give an
insight into the development of research on the subject over the
last 50 years.
The Industrial Revolutions under discussion are the first
industrial revolution - the period of the cotton mill and the steam
engine, rather than electrical engineering, fine chemicals and the
internal combustion engine. The Industrial Revolutions were events
of such profound and continuing importance for all societies that
achieving a better understanding of their nature must be a
prominent aspect of the educational objectives of both individuals
and institutions.
