New Trends in Education in the Eighteenth Century

This is Volume VII of nine in a collection on Historical Sociology. Originally published in 1951, this is a study of educational institutions and movements, social and economic conditions and developments in a period that is seen as the actual realisation of modern education.







Science and Technology in the Industrial Revolution


Book Description

Concentrating on the Industrial Revolution as experienced in Great Britain (and, within that sphere, mainly on the early development of the engineering and chemical industries), the authors develop the thesis that the interaction between theorists and men of practical affairs was much closer, more complex and more consequential than some historians of science have held it to be. Deeply researched, gracefully argued and fully documented. First published in 1969, and established now as a "classic" in the field, the present edition has a new foreword by Margaret C. Jacob.
