Shelley Bookspan

4.9/5 (30595 ratings)

Description:Industrial museums during the early decades of the 20th century fulfilled a clear role. They featured business enterprise by acting as showcases for technology and industrial progress, invention, innovation and entrepreneurship. The declining role of industry in the postmodern world, however, raises important questions about many long cherished views and assumptions. What is the place of industry in the present? Are we now in a postindustrial era? Is this now an age of information? Are we a service rather than an industrial economy? Uncertainty in such regards makes the role of the industrial museum seem more problematic. The challenge today is to celebrate, examine and make familiar the crucial role played by industry in the nation's development in meaningful fashion for a public audience who no longer view the industrial segment as dominant in the economic, social and cultural life of the nation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
