| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This book discusses the benefits and human impact of the Industrial Revolution. It contains descriptions on the effects of technology on factories, canals, cotton mills, spinning frames, and more. It also discusses the social impact that the Industrial Revolution brings like child labor, cottage industry, factory facts, urbanization, and more. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
