Summary: Excerpt of review from The Midden
Review: "In this volume Shackel presents a very interesting and cogent discussion on the impact of early capitalist industrialisaion on people and their community. This is a very good study in which an anthropological/social historical theoretical approach has been applied to "industrial archaeology". The text is well-written, and illustrated with maps, plans, art work, and photographs. For thosse of us that investigate industrial sites, Shackel's study provides a useful archaeological reference for the material manifestations of early industrialisation."
