as the Industrial Revolution, from its earliest beginnings in the
mid-18th century to just after the First World War. This book is a
concise reference source on the era in American history known as
the Industrial Revolution-a period characterized by urbanization,
mass immigration, organization of labor, and an immense gap between
wealthy industrialists and the poor. It serves as an ideal resource
for students preparing to take the AP U.S. history exam as well as
being useful to undergraduates and anyone interested in this

of encyclopedic entries, a detailed chronology, and primary source
documents-all of which guide readers through the material and aid

economics, social Darwinism, and robber barons, among other topics.
