Why the Industrial Revolution Happened in Britain by Jeremy Black
New paperback edition - Esteemed historian Jeremy Black examines the technological, social, political and economic reasons for the industrial revolution taking place in Britain.
'An intriguing book that encompasses the vast and dominant themes of coal, iron, textiles and enslavement, but woven through with specific evocative examples – making it a much more engaging read than simply a large theoretical overview' -- Family Tree Magazine, November 2023
