Today artificial intelligence, terrorism, climate change, and the threat of pandemics like Covid-19 threaten our safety and sense of well-being, just as machine production, the labor movement, toxic chemicals and waste, and epidemics like tuberculosis and cholera posed significant challenges in the Industrial Age. This modern and innovative collection features tried and tested topics, such as immigration and labor, along with underexplored ones, such as electricity, abundance, and contaminants. Each chapter includes a historiographical essay exploring the rich historical and sociological scholarship on the period in the United States, while framing the documents and illustrations included in the chapter. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Life During the Industrial Age\u003c\/i\u003e is an ideal companion to undergraduate and graduate courses in United States history, American studies, the history of technology, and the history of culture and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexis McCrossen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032777559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032777559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.62d","brand":"Alexis McCrossen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46795492524287,"sku":"9781032777559","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0582ab06-9977-4caa-9cb1-cf3771598008.jpg?v=1744947772","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-life-during-the-industrial-alexis-mccrossen-9781032777559","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
