Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This three-volume set concludes ABC-CLIO's groundbreaking series on the Industrial Revolution as it played out in the United States, offering volumes on the communications industry and the agriculture and meatpacking industries - plus a concluding overview volume on the causes, courses, and interconnections among the industries that brought such dramatic change to our lives. The Industrial Revolution began in Europe but really caught fire in the United States, where room to grow, abundant natural resources, an engaged government and entrepreneurial class, and an energized population provided the sparks. These forces came together most dramatically in the communications and food industries, where the United States took the lead in innovations that would impact the entire world. The concluding three-volume set in ABC-CLIO's landmark 'Industrial Revolution in America' series offers vivid reminders of how this economic renaissance changed virtually every facet of American life. Communications takes readers from the telegraph to the telephone and beyond, showing how improvements in communication (aided by better transportation) helped create a national market. Agriculture and Meatpacking marks the shift of agribusiness from family farms and local trading to mass production, sparking the development of a full range of farm machinery and spawning the rise of a new metropolis practically overnight. The concluding overview volume looks at the Industrial Revolution as a whole - revealing the impact of various industries on each other and gauging the revolution's broader social and political legacy here and around the world.
