Our Take
This survey is one of those books you read in a couple of hours and then go check out half the books in the bibliography. If you want a crash course on how the industrial revolution changed the cities of the United Kingdom (and particularly England) this is where you start. Average wages of a manual laborer in 1700? It's here. When did mortgages become available? Newspapers? All here. A fascinating and quick read that surveys the end of the medieval and the beginning of the modern in Britain.
