This is an interactive ebook for a series on modern world history for high school students and teachers. This volume focuses on the Industrial Revolution, including sections on pre-industrial society, causes and innovations, effects, and responses. Unlike almost all other textbooks, high school teachers wrote, designed, edited, and published this text to engage students in an in depth analysis of the story of modern world history. Please email vcleary@bcp.org. Feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks. We will continue to revise and update the ebooks in this series.
