Technological change is about more than inventions. This concise history of the Industrial Revolution places the eighteenth-century British Industrial Revolution in global context, locating its causes in government protection, global competition, and colonialism. Inventions from spinning jennies to steam engines came to define an age that culminated in the acceleration of the fashion cycle, the intensification in demand and supply of raw materials and the rise of a plantation system that would reconfigure world history in favour of British (and European) global domination. In this accessible analysis of the classic case of rapid and revolutionary technological change, Barbara Hahn takes readers from the north of England to slavery, cotton plantations, the Anglo-Indian trade and beyond - placing technological change at the centre of world history.

The U.S. city is undergoing constant change. In the East and Midwest, most cities were founded as trading posts on waterways. They boomed during the industrial era and reached their population peak in the mid-20th century, before suburbanization and deindustrialization caused them to decline in importance. Traces of decay were everywhere, and the prognosis for the future was conceivably poor. As Barbara Hahn shows in her book, this trend now seems to have been broken: Things are looking up again for the US. Some of the former industrial cities have succeeded in structural change. In the south and west of the country, cities have developed into new growth centers. However, not all cities are benefiting from this positive development, and many continue to shrink at an alarming rate. As the author points out, similar processes such as neoliberalism, deregulation, privatisation and gentrification can be observed in all cities, regardless of their location and level of development. Due to the large number of didactically prepared graphics, the book is suitable as a study read for students and scholars. The characteristics of the U.S. city, which are elaborated on the basis of current examples, as well as the illustrative photos also illustrate the change of the U.S. city to the interested reader. The Author Prof. Dr. Barbara Hahn holds the chair of economic geography at the University of Würzburg, Germany and has been observing the transformation of the U.S. cities since the mid-1980s in the course of many travels and research projects. .

Die US-amerikanische Stadt ist einem steten Wandel unterworfen. Im Osten und Mittleren Westen sind die meisten Städte als Handelsorte an Wasserwegen gegründet worden. Zu Zeiten der Industrialisierung erlebten sie einen Aufschwung, und ihr Bevölkerungsmaximum erreichten sie Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts, ehe aufgrund von Suburbanisierung und Deindustrialisierung ein Bedeutungsrückgang einsetzte. Überall zeigten sich Spuren des Verfalls, und die Prognosen für die Zukunft waren denkbar schlecht. Wie Barbara Hahn in ihrem Buch zeigt, scheint dieser Trend mittlerweile gebrochen: Es geht wieder aufwärts mit der US-amerikanischen Stadt. Einigen der früheren Industriestädte ist ein Strukturwandel gelungen. Im Süden und Westen des Landes haben sich die Städte zu neuen Wachstumszentren entwickelt. Allerdings profitieren nicht alle Städte von dieser positiven Entwicklung, und viele schrumpfen weiter in erschreckendem Ausmaß. Wie die Autorin betont, sind unabhängig von Lage und Entwicklungsstand in allen Städten ähnliche Prozesse wie Neoliberalisierung, Deregulierung, Privatisierung und Gentrifizierung zu beobachten. Aufgrund der Vielzahl an didaktisch aufgearbeiteten Grafiken eignet sich das Buch für Studierende und Wissenschaftler als Studienlektüre. Die Charakteristika der US-amerikanischen Stadt, die anhand aktueller Beispiele herausgearbeitet sind, veranschaulichen ebenso wie die illustrativen Fotos auch dem interessierten Leser den Wandel der US-amerikanischen Stadt. Die Autorin: Barbara Hahn hat an der Universität Würzburg den Lehrstuhl für Wirtschaftsgeographie inne und beobachtet den Wandel der US-amerikanischen Stadt seit Mitte der 1980er-Jahre im Rahmen vieler Reisen und Forschungsprojekte.
