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 hazardsSuch 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738625212704,"sku":"NEW0333949811","price":59.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/5161M7z8guL.jpg?v=1779608217","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/an-environmental-history-of-twentieth-century-britain-0333949811","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
