This concise history of the Industrial Revolution places the eighteenth-century British Industrial Revolution in global context, locating its causes in government protection, global competition, and colonialism. Inventions from spinning jennies to steam engines came to define an age that culminated in the acceleration of the fashion cycle, the intensification in demand and supply of raw materials and the rise of a plantation system that would reconfigure world history in favour of British (and European) global domination. In this accessible analysis of the classic case of rapid and revolutionary technological change, Barbara Hahn takes readers from the north of England to slavery, cotton plantations, the Anglo-Indian trade and beyond - placing technological change at the centre of world history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Industrial revolution $z Great Britain $x History. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Economic conditions. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Technological innovations $x History. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hahn, Barbara, 1967- $t Technology in the industrial revolution $b First. $d New York : Cambridge University Press, 2020. $z 9781316900864 $w (DLC) 2019043887 830 0 $a New approaches to the history of science and medicine 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200702013754.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=510F67988E9811EAB83BD64B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
