Críticas
"A superb case study of mechanization and social change in the paper industry of Berkshire County. . . . There is a plethora of reasons why this book will be of interest to economic, technological, labor and social historians as well as to students."--Avi J. Cohen, Journal of Economic History
"Most Wonderful Machine belongs on a list with the mere handful that have offered deep insights into the American industrial revolution and especially into the social relations of mechanization. . . . An extraordinary achievement."--George H. Daniels, The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
"An especially rewarding chapter is devoted to the 'separate sphere' of women workers."--Stanley Buder, History
"Weaves together technical, business, political and cultural themes to create a fully-realized analysis of industrialization that is alert to place, product, and gender, entrepreneurship, markets and the shifting character and meanings of work. It is simply essential reading."--Labor History
