Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: very good. First edition. First printing [stated]. xi, 320 p. Map. Occasional Footnotes. Timeline. Source Notes. Index. In this title, the author demonstrates how technology has contributed to human misery, lessening both our autonomy and our enjoyment of life. This is part… a history of the original Luddites, and part a manifesto against further, technologically driven damage to our planet. The book reminds us of the common threads that link today's alienated citizen with the early 19th-century rebels against the industrial ethos.

Condition: very good, very good. First Edition. First Printing. 320, footnotes, timeline, source notes, index, front DJ flap price clipped. The first popular history of the rebellion against technology that still reverberates today. In the 1990's we use the term "luddite" to refer to anyone not enamored of technology. Now the au…thor of The Conquest of Paradise: Christopher Columbus and the Columbian Legacy takes us back to the time when being a Luddite could get you hanged. This is the story of a bold uprising by the earliest victims of the first Industrial Revolution, viewed from the perspective of today's second Industrial Revolution, a vivid reminder that the current turmoil, driven by rapidly developing technology and the global economy, is every bit as disruptive as the one created by the steam engine and laissez-faire.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. As the columns of French infantry marched up the slopes of the Mont St Jean at Waterloo, the British heavy cavalry, the Royal Scots Greys to the fore, crashed into the packed ranks of the enemy. This was not the first time the Greys had drawn their swords during… the Napoleonic Wars - but it was their first against Napoleon's troops. Three years earlier they had attacked workers in Halifax protesting at the introduction of machinery in the wool trade. Taking their name from Ned Ludd, who had smashed up knitting frames in Nottingham, the Luddites saw the emergence of mechanisation as a threat to their livelihood, with men replacing machines. In response they took matters into their own hands by wrecking the new equipment. Industrial unrest had gathered pace throughout the 18th century and exploded in an unpresented wave of violence in 1799\. Outbreaks of machine-breaking developed rapidly into strikes in a battle of capital against labour. A court battle ensued, culminating in new legislation in 1806 that backed the capitalists. This act, coupled with the impact of the Continental system introduced by Napoleon, which closed European and American ports to British merchants, heralded the largest economic depression of the era. Famine, pestilence and rising employment all fuelled the fires of Luddism. Months of violence swept across the West Midlands, Lancashire and Yorkshire which saw one factory boss murdered; other factory owners began shooting protesting workers. The disturbances resulted in the mobilising of thousands of regular soldiers - at one time there were as many British soldiers fighting the Luddites than there were fighting Napoleon on the Iberian Peninsula. As well as exploring these events, Paul L. Dawson also uncovers the origins of Luddism and their allies in the middle classes. The Napoleonic Wars marked the end of centuries old way of life in agriculture, textile production and the wider economy. The dramatic changes in Britain between 1790 and 1815 created a unique set of social grievances by those left behind by the unprecedented changes that were surging through the Britain which exploded into bitter fighting across large swathes of the country. With present day concerns over computerisation replacing labour, this is a story that echoes down the centuries. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Desiriis, Marco. Improper names : collective pseudonyms from the Luddites to anonymous. First edition. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2015. Quadrant Series. Paperback, near fine. Very light shelfwear to cover corners. xi, 289pp., contents clean and bright. Improper Name…s offers a genealogy and theory of the "improper name," which author Marco Deseriis defines as the adoption of the same pseudonym by organized collectives, affinity groups, and individual authors. Although such names are often invented to pursue a specific social or political agenda, they are soon appropriated for different and sometimes diverging purposes. This book examines the tension arising from struggles for control of a pseudonym's symbolic power. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
