Overall, this first volume in the series should render business
research in manufacturing a good deal easier by bringing together
insightful industry histories and detailed critical bibliographies.
This series has much to recommend it. Future volumes will be
eagerly awaited. Reference Books Bulletin This historical and
bibliographical reference work is the first volume of Greenwood
Press's Handbook of American Business History, a series intended to
supplement current bibliographic materials pertaining to business
history. Devoted to manufacturing, this work uses the Enterprise
Standard Industrial Classification (ESIC) to divide the subject
into distinct segments, from which contributors have developed
histories and bibliographies of the different types of
manufacturing. Though authors were given sets of guidelines to
follow, they were also allowed the flexibility to work in a format
that best suited the material. Each contribution in this volume
contains three important elements: a concise history of the
manufacturing sector, a bibliographic essay, and a bibliography.
Some contributions appear in three distinct parts, while others are
combined into one or two segments; all build on currently available
material for students and scholars doing research on business and
industry. The contributors, who include business, economic, and
social historians, as well as engineers and lawyers, have covered
such topics as bakery products, industrial chemicals and
synthetics, engines and turbines, and household appliances. Also
included are an introductory essay that covers general works and a
comprehensive index. This book should be a useful tool for courses
in business and industry, and a valuable resource for college,
university, and public libraries.
