内容简介
Engines of Change is based on a Smithsonian Institution
exhibit of the same title. The principal theme is the importance of
technological transfer. It ventures beyond discussion of machines
and tools to consider the effects of geographical dimension,
natural resources, business practices, the role of women, ethnic
diversity, and education. In this work the authors present a
pictorial history of the Industrial Revolution in America, derived
from surviving artifacts, historical prints, and other graphic
materials. By means of this work they bring about a fuller
understanding of the major developments in American technology,
business, economics, and labor, tracing the migration of technology
and technologists from Europe to America, where skilled
craftsmen—combined with the richness of natural resources and the
energy and innovations released by the young nation’s political
freedoms—enabled industrialism to flourish.
