Book Reviews:  The purpose of a book review is to summarize and analyze a book.  Book reviews provide other readers (in this case, your instructor) with the book’s content, as well as a critical analysis of the book’s argument.

Here is a general list of items that must be included in your book reviews:

1.    Thesis:  What is the author trying to argue—what is the point of the book?    Usually, the author makes the argument explicitly clear near the beginning of the book.  If you need help isolating the author’s thesis, come see me.
2.    Evidence:  What does the author use to prove her point?  In most cases, look at the bibliographies and the works cited.  The next step is to decide whether the evidence given logically leads to the conclusion.  Was the evidence sound enough to support the conclusion?
3.    Summary:  Half to three-fourths of your book review should be a summary.  What did the book say?  How was it said?  Why is it important that it was included?  The key here is to paraphrase and put the author’s points in your own words.  USE QUOTES SPARINGLY.  You will get nowhere by just quoting the author over and over.  Prove to me that you understand the book, not that the author does.
4.    Analysis:  How sound is the conclusion?  Does the evidence and points make sense?  Is the author missing anything—are there any holes in the book?  Do you think the author is being biased with the evidence presented?  This is your time to give your arguments on the purpose and usefulness of the book.  Your opinions MUST be justified by evidence, just like we ask of the author.  “I didn’t like this book” is not analysis.  “This book is faulty because of the following reasons” is analysis.
5.    Class connection:  Does this book connect to any concepts, theories, people, or events that we discussed in class?

Book reviews are to be four pages long, be written in paragraph form with an introduction and conclusion, and be written using full sentences.  Formatting requirements are 12 point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced, and one inch margins.  Failure to follow these requirements will lower your grade.  Be forewarned:  four pages means four full pages.  Three and a half pages is not four full pages.

Watch the video about the Industrial Revolution (http://www.history.com/topics/industrial-revolution)
to get an idea about life before and during the Industrial Revolution. 

"This, then, is held to be the duty of the man of wealth: First, to set an example of modest, unostentatious living, shunning display or extravagance; … and, after doing so, to consider all surplus revenues which come to him simply as trust funds, which he is called upon to administer… to produce the most beneficial results for the community—the man of wealth thus becoming the mere trustee and agent for his poorer brethren, bringing to their service his superior wisdom, experience and ability to administer, doing for them better than they would or could do for themselves."

—From "Wealth," by Andrew Carnegie, North American Review (1889)

"Law? Who cares about the law. Hain't I got the power?"

—Comment alleged to have been made by Cornelius Vanderbilt, when warned that he might be violating the law

Though a century has passed since the heyday of the great industrialists and financiers, debate continues: were these men captains of industry, without whom this country could not have taken its place as a great industrial power, or were they robber barons, limiting healthy competition and robbing from the poor to benefit the rich?

Where do we draw the line between unfair business practices and competition that leads to innovation, investment, and improvement in the standard of living for everyone?

Would the industrial economy have succeeded without entrepreneurs willing to take competition to its extremes?

It has been argued that we are now in a comparable economic period, the formative years of the Information Age. Certainly we continue to struggle with similar kinds of questions about fair and unfair business practices and the benefits and costs of competition.

Does the industrialization of America at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century hold any lessons for us today?

Can market forces exert sufficient influence to rein in potentially harmful practices or does government have to intervene?

About a century has passed since the events at the center of this lesson—the Haymarket Affair, the Homestead Strike, and the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. For some people in our nation, these incidents illustrated the unfair conditions faced by workers as the United States assumed its position as the most highly industrialized nation in the world. For others, they demonstrated the difficulty of managing industries. Such disagreements continue to this day.

Where do we draw the line between acceptable business practices and unacceptable working conditions?

Can an industrial—and indeed a post-industrial—economy succeed without taking advantage of those who do the work?

John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, J.P. Morgan and Thomas Edison
