Inventing Pollution: Coal, Smoke, and Culture in Britain Since 1800 - Series in Ecology and History
Peter Thorsheim
Inventing Pollution examines new understandings of pollution, centered not on organic decay but on coal combustion, that emerged in the late 19th century in Britain. This change, Thorsheim argues, gave birth to the smoke-abatement movement and to new ways of thinking about the relationships among humanity, technology, and the environment.
