Abstract

The industrial revolution, first phase, consisted of iron, steel, textile and railway development, all powered by steam; it was complete by the mid-nineteenth century. The second phase comprising electricity, automotive and chemical advances, plastics and processed food occupied the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries. The Encyclopedia of the Industrial Revolution in World History is a three-volume work of over 1,000 entries on the rise and spread of the Industrial Revolution across the world. Entries comprise accessible but scholarly explorations of topics from the "aerospace industry" to "zaibatsu." Contributor articles not only address topics of technology and technical innovation but emphasize the individual human and social experience of industrialization. Entries include generous selections of biographical figures and human communities, with articles on entrepreneurs, working men and women, families, and organizations. They also cover legal developments, disasters, and the environmental impact of the Industrial Revolution. Each entry also includes cross-references and a brief list of suggested readings to alert readers to more detailed information.The Encyclopedia of the Industrial Revolution in World History includes over 300 illustrations, as well as artfully selected, extended quotations from key primary sources, from Thomas Malthus’ “Essay on the Principal of Population” to Arthur Young’s look at Birmingham, England in 1791.

Abstract

The industrial revolution was and is a huge development and one of the fundamental changes in human experience in the modern world. In Debating the Industrial Revolution, Peter N. Stearns, a leading expert in world history, presents the major contours of the ongoing debates over industrialization in history. He explores the central historical discussion over what caused such a momentous change, demonstrating how interpretations have developed over time and encouraging students to critically engage with historical practice. Trying to understand why industrialization happened, and why it continues to happen, continues to organize considerable analytical energy. This book will be the ideal primer for students wanting to understand the key debates, and get a sense of how they might develop in the future.

Abstract

Le célèbre pamphlet du physicien et philosophe William Molyneux, né et mort à Dublin (1656-1698), The Case of Ireland being bound by acts of Parliament to England Stated (1698) ou Discours sur la sujétion de l'Irlande aux lois du Parlement d'Angleterre, est, par sa vision du contexte historique, un apport précieux à la connaissance de l'époque et aux relations entre l'Irlande et l'Angleterre. Évoquant les affaires les plus inquiétantes qui portent atteinte à l'autonomie de l'Irlande, l'auteur conteste au Parlement d'Angleterre le droit de légiférer pour l'Irlande au motif que l'Irlande est un royaume séparé, qu'elle a son propre Parlement et n'est pas représentée au Parlement d'Angleterre. Il veut restaurer les droits du Parlement d'Irlande, tirant argument des accords entre les chefs irlandais et Henri II et faisant référence à la publication en 1692 par Anthony Dopping du Modus tenendi parliamenta in Hibernia. La théorie selon laquelle l'Irlande était sujette du roi d'Angleterre et non du Parlement n'était pas facile à concilier avec la situation nouvelle créée par la Révolution de 1688-1689 qui établissait le Parlement, et non le roi, comme l'autorité suprême en Angleterre. L'ouvrage fit sensation et fut considéré comme la première revendication de l'indépendance irlandaise.

Abstract

What is the place of the French Revolution in teaching history? What are the ideological trends and pedagogic messages that are used in school textbooks? Are these textbooks simple "national autobiographies" or the faithful reflection of historical research on the topic? The contributions collected in this volume seek to answer some of these questions, taking into account different countries, from France to Russia, from the United States to China. In a time like ours, where much is said about the public use of history, the relationship between historical research, teaching and dissemination remains a fundamental theme.
