| Abstract
|
:
|
Provides first-hand accounts of the economic, social, and personal changes that came about during this pivotal period in history. The Industrial Revolution touched all corners of the world: the textile factories of New England, mining and metalworking in Germany, even reaching the Japanese silk industry. Author Frader brings together key primary sources to illustrate the far-reaching effects--both positive and negative--of these enormous changes.--From publisher description
