Gillian Cookson 
Making an Industrial Revolution [EPUB ebook] 
Skill, Knowledge, Community and Innovation

Ủng hộ

A new look at Britain’s industrial revolution showing how communities of shared skill, knowledge and experience drove industrial innovation.
Making 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.
Connections 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.
