It combines, for the first time, two perspectives with much to say about Britain since the industrial revolution: the history of technology and environmental history. Technologies are modified environments, just as nature is to varying extents engineered. Furthermore, technologies and our living and non-living environment are both predominant material forms of organisation – and self-organisation – that surround and make us. Both have changed over time, in intersecting ways. Technologies discussed in the collection include bulldozers, submarine cables, automobiles, flood barriers, medical devices, museum displays and biotechnologies. Environments investigated include bogs, cities, farms, places of natural beauty and pollution, land and sea. The book explores this diversity but also offers an integrated framework for understanding these intersections.United Kingdom, Great Britainbicsscc 1945 to c 2000 (Post-war period)bicsscc 1945 to c 1960bicsscc 1960 to c 1970bicsscc 1970 to c 1980bicsscc 1980 to c 1990bicsscc 1990 to c 2000bicssc21st centurybicsscEuropean historybicsscHistory of ideasbicsscHistory of sciencebicsscEnglishbicsscHistory of engineering & technologybicsscc 1700 to c 1800bicsscc 1800 to c 1900bicssc20th centurybicsscc 1900 - c 1914bicsscc 1914 to c 1918 (including WW1)bicsscc 1918 to c 1939 (Inter-war period)bicsscc 1939 to c 1945 (including WW2)bicsscUnited Kingdom, Great BritainbicsscUnited Kingdom, Great Britainc 1945 to c 2000 (Post-war period)c 1945 to c 1960c 1960 to c 1970c 1970 to c 1980c 1980 to c 1990c 1990 to c 200021st centuryEuropean historyHistory of ideasHistory of scienceEnglishHistory of engineering & technologyc 1700 to c 1800c 1800 to c 190020th centuryc 1900 - c 1914c 1914 to c 1918 (including WW1)c 1918 to c 1939 (Inter-war period)c 1939 to c 1945 (including WW2)609.41Agar JonWard JacobNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910265244803321Histories of Technology, the Environment and Modern Britain2246285UNINA
