内容説明
Innovation in History: Industry and Transport introduces students to innovations and innovators that shaped the course of the 20th century, providing the materials necessary to explore important advances in industry and transportation in the United States.
Innovations in History: Industry and Transport offers a refreshing way to introduce students to some of the landmark accomplishments of American ingenuity.
The resource begins with a broad survey of industry and transportation in the 19th and 20th centuries, providing essential background and detailing the interrelated efforts of some of the most innovative designers and entrepreneurs in American history. It then focuses on two Defining Moments: the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, a feat that many thought impossible at the time; and the rise of Ford Motor Company, where groundbreaking industrial practices brought about the mass production of automobiles and the expansion of the American middle class. Lessons built around primary sources-from bridge construction plans to automobile ads-enable students to use the tools of the working historian to explore the context and impact these breakthroughs.
* A wealth of primary documents including illustrations, photographs, and accounts from the time of the Brooklyn Bridge's construction and the rise of the Ford Motor Company
* Bibliographic references and ideas for further research provide potential starting points for deeper exploration into the development of industry and transportation systems in the United States
