商品簡介
Perchard (business history, University of Strathclyde Business School) documents the history of the aluminum reduction works of the British Aluminum Company near Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands, beginning in 1895. The study touches on the politics of national and imperial defense, global capitalism, and the complexities of regional politicking, but also looks at social relations in the company, workplace and village life, and controversies over the company's effects on the landscape, health, and the environment. The book includes a brief glossary of industry terms and is illustrated with many b&w historical photos, plus some contemporary maps. Distributed in the US by IPM.
