Regions and Industries A Perspective on the Industrial Revolution in Britain

It is the contention of this book that industrialization in Britain (and elsewhere) occurred first and foremost within regions rather than in the nation as a whole and that attempts to understand the 'first industrial revolution' as a fundamentally important economic, social and political process are best undertaken with the regional perspective at centre stage. In Regions and Industries a team of distinguished historians contribute a series of interconnected essays illustrative of the richness and variety of fundamental change at regional level.Hudson, Pat is the author of 'Regions and Industries A Perspective on the Industrial Revolution in Britain' with ISBN 9780521341066 and ISBN 052134106X.
