Challenges the view of the Industrial Revolution as a triumph of craftsmen without any kind of scientific training. As well as the development of engineering and chemical industries, it details the agencies that aided diffusion of science - philosophical societies, itinerant lecturers and articles.
First Published in 1969. The Industrial Revolution in Great Britain has probably attracted more attention than any other historical period or phenomenon. Students of economic growth, of business history, and of social revolution have long delved in this rich and fascinating field. Yet new veins continue to be discovered, as new areas are surveyed and new drillings undertaken. This book is the outcome of such research activities intermittently spread over more than ten years.
