Mesa Verde Publishing’s The Encyclopedia of the Industrial Revolution in World History Wins Library Journal’s 2015 Best Print Reference Award

In its February 26, 2016, issue, the noted librarian publication Library Journal named Mesa Verde Publishing’s The Encyclopedia of the Industrial Revolution in World History, edited by Kenneth E. Hendrickson III, Steven L. Danver, and Justin Corfield (Rowan & Littlefield, 2015), one of its 2015 Best Print Reference Award winners. The only work focusing on business and economics to make the list produced by the “most trusted and respected publication for the library community,” The Encyclopedia of the Industrial Revolution in World History was one of only 33 out of the over 8,000 works reviewed annually by Library Journal to be awarded the honor.

As Library Journal noted in its September 2015 review of The Encyclopedia of the Industrial Revolution in World History, “[t]his 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.”
