Understanding the Industrial Revolution
Understanding the Industrial Revolution is a fresh, new exploration of this economic phenomenon of major importance.

Each aspect of the Industrial Revolution in Britain is discussed in depth, focusing on the important debates and reviewing the most recent research.
