O tym produkcie

Product Information

This pathbreaking book tells the dramatic story of a unique manufacturing complex and the city that it helped to create. The events recounted and interpreted by W. David Lewis are of more than local or regional significance. The rise of Sloss furnaces and Birmingham epitomized the emergence of the United States as the world's foremost economic power. Similarly, the closing of a once-profitable ironmaking installation amid social and technological changes that convulsed Birmingham nine decades after the city's founding typified challenges that were facing America at the dawn of the postindustrial age. Above all, Sloss Furnaces resonates with the class of competition and the frenetic energy with which southerners joined other Americans in a rush to transform a continent after a fratricidal drive for independence had failed. The sweeping narrative that Lewis has produced amply justifies its subtitle, An Industrial Epic .

"The 'whys' of Birmingham's story--the tale of a place of great potential that never really reached its potential--is well told in Lewis's sweeping historical reconstruction of the region, its industrial base, labor force, political and economic institutions, and more. The book reflects the history of technology at its best, interweaving an array of themes and topics all interconnected with a relatively peripheral manufacturer of pig iron, the Sloss Furnaces company and its successors. . . . The past is indeed seamless and Lewis has written far more than a history of technology, as he approaches the limits of holistic history. . . . [This is] a book of uncommon power."-- American Historical Review, “David Lewis has produced a masterpiece in his Sloss Furnaces . . . which deserves to be ranked with such seminal and influential works as Cash’s Mind of the South .� – Edwin T.
