Opis

Essays in this volume survey the various environmental consequences of western development. The settlement process, the industrial revolution and urbanization all had environmental consequences. Completely neglected by most previous generations of historians, our authors analyze the environmental problems in institutional, legal and cultural terms. These essays make clear the need for a multi-disciplinary approach to environmental history as science, culture and law frequently clashed in the developmental process.
