Much like the Renaissance, the Industrial period was a time of huge change in Britain and Europe. Instead of changes in the arts, literature and philosophy, there were changes in agriculture and manufacturing. These changes totally remoulded British society, which went from a nation of small towns and villages to one of sprawling cities. By 1900, Britain controlled a quarter of the world. Likewise, both periods saw changes in medicine. During the Renaissance many of these changes related to the thinking behind medicine, whereas in the Industrial period the changes related more to practicing medicine. New treatments such as the vaccination and anaesthetics were discovered. The cause of disease was discovered, and this led to the development of antiseptics. Let's find out what happened in the 200 years of the Industrial period.

Reviews
I think that it's easier to learn by listening to one of these titles contained in a topic. With headphones on there aren't so many distractions and I found it quite easy to remember the facts. I listened to one chapter two times and found it just as interesting the second time round. This is a great product and I would buy it if I can persuade my parents to cough up.

This is an excellent learning resource, which makes a quite complex topic seem straightforward and interesting. There is a lot of information to remember, but it is presented in such a way that it seems manageable.
