In the second half of the 19th century, America transformed itself
into an industrial power, ready to assume a dominant position on
the world scene in the 20th century. The development of
industrialization and the consumer society brought about
opportunities for many Americans as part of an ever-growing middle
class, but also resulted in environmental and social degradation
that we continue to deal with at the present time.
UXL's "Development of the Industrial U.S. Reference Library:
Almanac" traces the influence of the British Industrial Revolution
on America and other nations and discusses such potent forces as
advances in transportation and communication, inventions that
transformed manufacturing and agriculture, the growth of trade and
much more.
"Biographies" includes entries on various notables, including
Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan, Jay Gould, Jane Addams and
others.
"Primary Sources" provides excerpts and explications of seminal
sources, including legislative acts, accounts of daily life from
regular citizens, political cartoons and more. The set includes a
separately published comprehensive index.
For table of contents, sample pages or other volume specific
information see the entry for the "Almanac, Biographies" or"
Primary Sources."
