Description

Glas analyzes the rapid economic growth of Spain's Bilbao region in the context of its massive exportation of iron ore to Great Britain between 1875 and 1899. Focusing on the mining boom and the opportunities it created for Bilbao businessmen, the author establishes a broad chronological and analytical framework that combines economic history with social, cultural, and political analysis to account for the industrialization of Vizcaya and the success of local entrepreneurs.

About the Author
Eduardo Jorge Glas earned his Ph.D. at Columbia University. He traveled extensively in Spain and Basque homelands to research his work.

Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
