Beskrivning
This two volume compendium of archival source material chronicles British environmental politics between 1789 and 1914. The collection examines scientific discoveries and the result of these findings on the political environment, bringing the publics attention to public health issues such as acid rain and river pollution. The texts explore environmental conservationism as both an artistic and a political movement, and the ways in which environmental policy was regulated. Finally, the volumes explore the environmental costs of British imperialism in the nineteenth century, such as resource depletion and military ecocide. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, this collection will be of great interest to students of environmental and political history.
