{"product_id":"cookson-gillian-making-an-industrial-revolution-9781837652228","title":"Making an Industrial Revolution","description":"A new look at Britain's industrial revolution showing how communities of shared skill, knowledge and experience drove industrial innovation.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMaking an Industrial Revolution presents a fresh perspective on British industrialization. Advances in technology, commerce and science played their part, but - as this book argues - above all it was communities of shared skill, knowledge and experience which drove industrial innovation in the eighteenth century.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nConnections and relationships in key sectors - iron, textiles and engineering - produced transformative forces that revolutionized industrial life in Britain. Including new insights into Scotland's unique contribution, the book explores industrial change across the country, highlighting the significance of inter-regional and overseas migration and connection. It considers how social status enabled or limited individuals. It questions how exactly eighteenth-century science linked with emerging industrial technologies; and the importance of science, relative to skills and experience, in shaping innovation.","brand":"Boydell Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53761046020438,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/cookson-gillian-making-an-industrial-revolution-9781837652228","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
