In .An Environmental History of Twentieth-Century Britain., John Sheail breaks new ground in illustrating how some of the most pressing concerns came to be recognised, and a response made. Much use is made of archival sources in tracing a number of key issues, including: .*management of change by central and local government .*the manner in which natural processes were incorporated in projects to protect personal and public health, and ultimately environmental health.* new beginnings in forestry .*the emergence of a third force alongside farming and forestry in the countryside .*management of a transport revolution, and mitigation of environmental hazards.Such instances of policy-making are reviewed within the wider context of a growing awareness, both on the part of government and business, of the role of environmental issues in the creation of wealth and social well-being for us all. .An Environmental History of Twentieth-Century Britain. is essential reading for all those concerned with these issues. | Pindex | Textbook 2002Latest edition |
