Reviews
"A good starting point for research; recommended for public and academic libraries." - Library Journal
"This book focuses on the central developments and changes in industrialization from the 18th century to the present day. An extensive bibliography and index are included; each entry has references and see-also citations. The language makes it easy for middle-grade students to consult, but its general sophistication also makes it a good starting point for older researchers. An excellent purchase for reference collections." - School Library Journal
