{"product_id":"9781837652228","title":"Making an Industrial Revolution","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gillian Cookson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52382262591806,"sku":"9781837652228","price":2986.97,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9781837652228.jpg?v=1761154533","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781837652228","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
