In The Industrial Turn in World History, Peter N. Stearns presents
a concise yet far reaching overview of the worldwide shift from
agricultural societies to industrial societies over the past two
centuries. Putting the implications for individuals and societies
in global context while simultaneously considering the limits of
generalization across cultures, Stearns's text explores the nature
of industrialization across national and regional lines. Rather
than portraying the Industrial Revolution as primarily a Western,
early 19th-century development, this new narrative argues that the
move to industrial societies is an ongoing and truly global shift.
Taking a largely social and cultural approach, Stearns engages with
the leading-edge approach of looking at emotion
historically-allowing readers to ask questions about the impact of
industrial society on emotional experience and happiness levels.
This innovating framing allows for use in a variety of courses,
including world history, economic history, and more general courses
on the Industrial Revolution.
