What is The Pacific in the Age of Early Industrialization (The Pacific World: Lands, Peoples and History of the Pacific, 1500-1900) about?

The Essays Selected For This Volume Show How The Pacific Rapidly Became Part Of An Industrializing World. Its Raw Materials (notably Rubber And Copper) Were Critical, Some Of Its Handicraft Industries Were Devastated By Mechanized Competition, Others Survived And Adapted, Contributing To Distinctive Patterns Of Industrialization That Made Japan A New Center Of Power, And Also Laid The Groundwork For Later Growth In Taiwan, Korea, And Coastal China. The Pacific Coast Of The Americas Was Also First Drawn Into An Industrial World Largely As An Exporter Of Raw Materials, But North And South Diverged Rapidly, Portending Futures Even More Different Than Those Of Northeast And Southeast Asia. By The 1930s - When The Uneven Effects Of Industrialization Would Have Much To Do With Plunging The Pacific Into War - One Can Already Glimpse In Outline The Structural Bases For Many Of The Region's Contemporary Characteristics.--publisher's Website.
