Can't believe that paid off - and that I didn't go for some copies myself!

The perfect Christmas gift for any baby...

Maybe an Attenborough voice over?

Yeah - I was lucky to scrape through in my final year of eligibility, which was probably the first year I had considered myself 'mid career'...

I had a BA Mid Career Fellowship, which would cover most of these bases.

That's interesting. I have argued elsewhere (doi.org/10.1093/past...) that England was already quite clock-oriented/time-regimented by the 16th century, so I think these differences are about more than just industrialisation...

Resources were more carefully managed, for example by coppicing of trees, and food was carefully stored over the winter and used gradually. There was pressure on these resources, for sure, but it is worth remembering the population of England in the 1600s was only about 5 million.

I think EPT exaggerates the extent of change caused by industrialisation as he misunderstood early modern society, but that isn't to say nothing changed. For me the jury is still out on the 'Industrious Revolution' - our data doesn't obviously show it, but it isn't designed to test that specifically

Aww, very kind words!

Thanks Bob!
