Customer Reviews

excellent intro to the "why's" of history

Celia Bland's passion for her subject shows in this book. It is packed with information, good and bad about the industrial revolution, why it came about, who suffered as a result and who benefited. If information like this were taught in school textbooks, our children would grow up to be far more thoughtful, more responsible citizens.
