Summary:260 pp. $59.95 Carolyn Kitch, professor of journalism in the School of Communications and Theater at Temple University, spent three years visiting industrial history landmarks, memorials, and events as well as conducting impeccable research via libraries and archives to write Pennsylvania in Public Memory: Reclaiming the Industrial Past.
