The fifteen contributors go beyond the longstanding view of industrialization as a linear process marked by discrete stages. Instead, they examine a lengthy and creative period in the history of industrialization, 1750 to 1914, reassessing the nature of and explanations for England's industrial primacy, and comparing significant industrial developments in countries ranging from China to Brazil. Each chapter explores a distinctive national production ecology, a complex blend of natural resources, demographic pressures, cultural impulses, technological assets, and commercial practices. At the same time, the chapters also reveal the portability of skilled workers and the permeability of political borders. The Industrial Revolution comes to life in discussions of British eagerness for stylish, middle-class products; the Enlightenment's contribution to European industrial growth; early America's incremental (rather than revolutionary) industrialization; the complex connections between Czarist and Stalinist periods of industrial change in Russia; Japan's late and rapid turn to mechanized production; and Brazil's industrial-financial boom. By exploring unique national patterns of industrialization as well as reciprocal exchanges and furtive borrowing among these states, the book refreshes the discussion of early industrial transformations and raises issues still relevant in today's era of globalization. 410 0$aDibner Institute Studies in the History of Science and Technology 606 $aIndustrial revolution 606 $aIndustrialization 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aTechnological innovations$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndustrial revolution. 615 0$aIndustrialization. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aTechnological innovations$xHistory. 676 $a330.9/034 701 $aHorn$b Jeff$cPh.
