Books with title The Revolution in Industry

This title examines the impact the great industrial transformation of 18th-century Britain had on both the domestic and international scenes. After considering the nature and significance of revolutions in industry, power and transport, it goes on to consider the formation of an industrial working class, the reform and self-help movements that arose from it, and the struggle between reformism, the vested interests of capital and the laissez-faire of government. It asks what the Industrial Revolution really was, and questions who benefited from it.

As I floated, chattering in cold, the freezing waters spraying my face and mouth, the salt burning my throat; as the night tide whipped me back and forth, and I could see nothing but inky blackness for miles and miles all around me, and no sense of direction as to where the closest shore was, I wondered. To fight the bad guys, I’d had to become like them, with that precarious line so blurred that I could no longer tell the difference between the good and the bad guys, anymore, or even which one I now was. I’d caused a revolution. The perfect justice to fit their crimes. But what would my justice be? At the mercy and mercy alone of high-tide to do with me as it pleased, I tiredly closed my eyes. “I’m coming, Nana. I’m coming,” I said weakly.
