This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Transportation in Modern England, Vol. 1 Since any discussion Of the subject Of transportation in modern England would be inadequate without some brief survey Of earlier modes Of conveyance and communication, we will endeavour to briefly present the conditions before the modern period, which we may roughly date from the time of the accession Of the Tudors. In the early history of Britain, the conquest by the Romans stands out as a very important event, from many points of view; and from no other standpoint is it more important than from the linking together Of all parts of the empire, by the construction Of great military highways. In order that their conquest might be complete, the Roman legions had to penetrate into distant and even secluded sections, where the early Britons had become ensconced to withstand the advance of their enemy; and even the fens had to be rendered passable to Roman arms by building suitable roads. Considering the fact that such works of engineering skill had all to be done by patient manual labour, through a wild and meagrely cultivated island, we can easily see what a vast expenditure Of time and effort must have been involved in it. In some places, great quantities of timber had to be cut down; in others, the ground had to be embanked and drained before it was firm enough to advance upon. The deeper rivers were crossed by timber bridges, Often laid on piers of such solid masonry that they were used in mediaeval times as the foundations of several successive bridges of better construction. The shallower streams were crossed by paved fords, whose courses were marked by large wooden posts. The enduring quality of the works, as well as their great extent, left its impress upon the face of England to such a degree, that these roads are the wonder Of the engineering world today.

Download or read book Forging Modernity written by Martin Hutchinson and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2023-03-30 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Industrial Revolution provided the greatest increase in living standards the world has ever known while propelling Britain to dominance on the global stage. In Forging Modernity, Martin Hutchinson looks at how and why Britain gained this prize ahead of its European competitors. After comparing their endowments and political structures as far back as 1600, he then traces how Britain, through better policies primarily from the political Tory party, diverged from other European countries. Hutchinson's Harvard MBA allows a unique perspective on the early industrial enterprises - many successes resulted from marketing, control systems and logistics rather than from production technology alone, while on a national scale the scientific method and commercial competition were as important as physical infrastructure. By 1830, through ever-improving policies, Britain had built a staggering industrial lead, half a century ahead of its rivals. Then the Tories lost power and policy changed forever. In his conclusion, Hutchinson shows how changes welcomed by conventional historians caused the decline of Industrial Britain. Nevertheless, the policies that drove growth, ingenuity and rising living standards are still available for those bold enough to adopt them.

This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition of the leading textbook on the economic history of Britain since industrialization. Combining the expertise of more than thirty leading historians and economists, Volume 1 tracks Britain's economic history in the period ranging from 1700 to 1870 from industrialisation to global trade and empire. Each chapter provides a clear guide to the major controversies in the field and students are shown how to connect historical evidence with economic theory and apply quantitative methods. New approaches are proposed to classic issues such as the causes and consequences of industrialisation, the role of institutions and the state, and the transition from an organic to an inorganic economy, as well as introducing new issues such as globalisation, convergence and divergence, the role of science, technology and invention, and the growth of consumerism. Throughout the volume, British experience is set within an international context and its performance benchmarked against its global competitors.
