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 Britain2246285UNINA02746nam 2200457 450 991082898100332120220705180933.01-77160-516-2(CKB)4100000012050739(MiAaPQ)EBC6746310(Au-PeEL)EBL6746310(OCoLC)1281989268(EXLCZ)99410000001205073920220705d2021 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierReindeer reflections lessons in an ancient culture /Jerry Haigh ; foreword by Yann Martel[Place of publication not identified] :RMB Rocky Mountain Books,[2021]©20211 online resource (232 pages)1-77160-515-4 A fascinating look at the state and fate of caribou in North America, along with the millennia-long practice of reindeer herding in Finland, Russia, and Mongolia. Within a few days of his arrival from Kenya to the western Canadian prairie city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, wildlife veterinarian Jerry Haigh discovered that caribou and reindeer are one and the same species: wild caribou in North America, wild reindeer in Eurasia. In time, Jerry's interest and research into this dynamic species grew beyond the borders of the northern boreal forests of North American, and he became fascinated with the way they were domesticated by ancient peoples and the folklore about the animals' origins, including that of the modern Christmas story about Rudolph and his red nose. Reindeer Reflections recounts Jerry Haigh's travels and research in the arctic tundra and northern forests of North America, working among the Sami of Finland, and getting to know the nomadic Tsaatan herders in the foothills of the Sayan mountains of Mongolia. This decades-long journey to uncover how this unique species of deer has been woven into the lives of people scattered across the northern hemisphere examines the changes, mostly collapses, in population numbers of both wild and domestic caribou, along with the effects of climate change, poaching, and disease, from Alaska to Siberia, as well as the impact of COVID-19 on the lives of the people he has met along the way.ReindeerReindeer farmingReindeer herdingReindeer.Reindeer farming.Reindeer herding.599.7357Haigh J.
