Characterized by the use of steam power,
manufacturing industries rapidly grew in its hinterland. These included food processing, textiles and the chemical industry. However, the main industry to progress from the growth of Liverpool as a port was shipbuilding and repair, and in 1829 Birkenhead emerged as an important shipyard. Between 1829 and 1947, over 1,100 vessels of all sizes and types slid down the Laird slipways into the Mersey and during this time Birkenhead was placed at the forefront of the British shipbuilding industry.

contribute to the high demand of the wool industry. Much of Australia’s wool has been exported to other countries such as China, Italy, Taiwan, Republic of Korea and France. However, Australia’s wool production has been decreasing for the last 10 years and the demand has been declining because of the other, easier to manage, synthetic fibers and materials that have been introduced to the market. This following report is regarding the changes and effects the wool industry had on Australia in the 19th century

Especially important in highly customized products where the design for postponement will allow lower inventory. The apparel industry is India’s second largest industry after the IT industrial sector [3], somewhere the reason is the availability of all types of production markets
The Semiconductor Manufacturing Industry The specific industry that will be referred to will be the semiconductor manufacturing industry. This industry emerged after World War II, first in the Boston area and then moved westwards into California during the 1950s. Reasons for locating in such areas include flat land, temperature, stable economy, steady government scene, accessible to markets, available raw materials and high skilled labour.

was the development of coal-powered furnaces that made iron in great quantities. Iron and then steel was an important factor in making machine parts and allowing larger buildings to be built for manufacturing, both of which help the expansion of industry. Third, the development and improvement of coal-powered steam engines, which provided a source of power for manufacturing that was better and more convenient than wood or water power. These three technological developments revolutionized the way
Banks are key financer backers of these countries. In Germany these banks owned by shareholders, while they owned by state in China. Shares of significant Japanese companies are held tightly in a system of cross holdings with sister firms in other industry groups. Late development theory can shed light to why these differences occurred. Alexander Gerschenkron criticised Rostow’s take off model, arguing that nations don’t undergo the same 5 linear stages of development. Gerschenkron introduced the concept
Enhanced British Parliamentary Papers on Ireland, 1801-1922 The British Parliamentary Papers on Ireland (BPPI) are an indispensable primary source for virtually every historian (and many non-historians) working in most fields of Irish history, and the history of Anglo-Irish relations, during the period of the Union (1801-1922). We have identified some 13,700 official publications relating to Ireland from the House of Commons[1] Sessional Indexes for this period, ranging in scale from short bills
