{"product_id":"extractives-manufacturing-and-services-david-o-whitten-9780313251993","title":"Extractives, Manufacturing, and Services: A Historiographical and Bibliographical Guide","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe second volume in the \u003ci\u003eHandbook of American Business History\u003c\/i\u003e series, this book offers concise histories of extractive, manufacturing, and service industries as well as extensive bibliographic essays pointing to the leading sources on each industry and bibliographic checklists. Supplementing other bibliographic materials in business history, this volume provides researchers with a much needed path through the vast array of material available in the library and on the Internet. Indicating which resources to check and which to bypass, the book is a guide to a sometimes overwhelming amount of information. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach of the book's chapters provides a concise industry history, beginning with the industry's rise to importance in the U.S. and continuing to the present. The bibliographic essays provide a narrative outline of the leading sources published or made available in archives, libraries, or museum collections since 1971, when Lovett's \u003ci\u003eAmerican Economic and Business History Information Sources\u003c\/i\u003e was published. Each discussion concludes with a bibliographic checklist of the titles mentioned in the essay as well as other titles. In a rapidly expanding information society, researchers, teachers, and students may be easily overwhelmed by the exhaustive material available in print and electronically. What is useful and what can be ignored is a strategic question, and few know where to begin. This book provides a guide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David O.
