Reviews
This book is an ideal starting point for students studying the industrial revolution, offering up-to-date and penetrating coverage of existing scholarship, while subtly making an original contribution to our understanding of the causes and character of the world's first industrial revolution. * Peter Maw, University of Leeds, UK *
This book is an excellent introduction to the British Industrial Revolution. Emma Griffin has digested a wealth of complex debates to create a convincing two-phase model of growth which makes sense of living standards, population, natural resources and work. * Alysa Levene, Oxford Brookes University, UK *
