“The work succeeds admirably in augmenting the standard reference works suitable for undergraduate collections that treat the subject…[t]he new set provides students and others unfamiliar with the topic a valuable overview of the people, events, and institutions that forever transformed the modern world.” – Choice, November 2015

“This is the best three-volume historical study of the Industrial Revolution to date; it offers a valuable chronicle of the great economic change that affected 19th-century Western Europe, North America, the Commonwealth, and Japan…[a]n admirable work that is recommended for all libraries with collections on U.S. and economic history.” – Library Journal, September 2015

“This 1,000-entry work provides a wide understanding of the changes brought about by invention, discovery, and manufacturing processes that have shaped the past three centuries. A-Z entries cover the people, events, documents, nations, businesses, and institutions, which are described clearly in signed entries. Birth and death dates of key people are included. Information is accurate and balanced, and the work is especially strong on manufacturing in the past, the impact of technology on warfare, and in its international focus.” – Booklist, November 2015
