This book did a great job of showing me how the Industrial Revolution was actually a series of people thinking, "How could I improve this? How I could I make this aspect of life easier?" It was very interesting, especially the part of how Japan opened up its borders to trade again.

Very dense, lot of information. I was expecting it to be more American focused but a large portion of the book covered events in Europe.
