"Industrial Archaeology: A Handbook" is arguably the best introductory account to the discipline and will remain so for some time. It deserves to be widely read by amateur and professional alike..." -- IA: The Journal of the Society for Industrial Archaeology IA: The Journal of the Society for Industrial Archaeology "There has been a clear need for a focused study such as this, which sets out, clearly and methodically, how the discipline has developed, what its priorities are, and how to set about doing it. It has much to offer both the undergraduate and professional looking for a baseline starting point...useful, readable and attractively presented approach to an archaeological resource that is very extensive, and for which very little training is available in universities" -- David Gwyn The Archaeological Journal
