The Age of Machinery: Engineering the Industrial Revolution, 1770-1850
ISBN: 9781783272761 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 337 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The engineers who built the first generations of modern textile machines, between 1770 and 1850, pushed at the boundaries of possibility. This book investigates these pioneering machine-makers, almost all working within textile communities in northern England, and the industry they created. It probes their origins and skills, the sources of their inspiration and impetus, and how it was possible to develop a high-tech, factory-centred, world-leading market in textile machinery virtually from scratch. The story of textile engineering defies classical assumptions about the driving forces behind...

A History of the County of Durham: Volume V: Sunderland
ISBN: 9781904356448 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Famed across Europe during Bede's time and the heyday of Wearmouth monastery, Sunderland found a less celebrated renown in the twentieth century with the distress of its heavy industries between the wars, and their final extinction in the 1980s. Between those very contrasting eras, its story is one of re-invention and of a growing industrial and commercial might. The coal trade transformed the town during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; shipbuilding came to the fore in the nineteenth, and Wearside became the nation's, and the world's, greatest shipbuilder. Though it lacked formal...

The Townscape of Darlington
ISBN: 9781904356219 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It is exactly a thousand years since Darlington first appeared in written records. During the following millennium, the small Anglo-Saxon settlement grew into today's thriving town, its history now generally linked in the public mind with entrepreneurial Quakers and the birth of railways. But as this book shows, Darlington's history encompasses many more diverse aspects in the change from medieval village to modern town. Through a survey of its physical development, the book describes how the town flourished in the middle ages; was largely destroyed by fire in 1585; and grew again in the...
