Now in its fifth edition, this book explores the ways in which the
industrial revolution reshaped world history, covering the
international factors that helped launch the industrial revolution,
its global spread and its impact from the end of the eighteenth
century to the present day. The single most important development
in human history over the past three centuries, the industrial
revolution continues to shape the contemporary world. Revised and
brought into the present, this fifth edition of Peter N. Stearns'
The Industrial Revolution in World History extends his global
analysis of the industrial revolution. Looking beyond the West, the
book considers India, the Middle East and China and now includes
more on key Latin American economies and Africa as well as the
heightened tensions, since 2008, about the economic aspects of
globalization and the decline of manufacturing in the West. This
edition also features a new chapter on key historiographical
debates, updated suggestions for further reading and boxed debate
features that encourage the reader to consider diversity and
different viewpoints in their own analysis, and pays increased
attention to the environmental impacts. Illustrating the
contemporary relevance of the industrial revolution's history, this
is essential reading for students of world history and economics,
as well as for those seeking to know more about the global
implications of what is arguably the defining socioeconomic event
of modern times.
