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. 606 $aUnited Kingdom, Great Britain$2bicssc 606 $ac 1945 to c 2000 (Post-war period)$2bicssc 606 $ac 1945 to c 1960$2bicssc 606 $ac 1960 to c 1970$2bicssc 606 $ac 1970 to c 1980$2bicssc 606 $ac 1980 to c 1990$2bicssc 606 $ac 1990 to c 2000$2bicssc 606 $a21st century$2bicssc 606 $aEuropean history$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of ideas$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of science$2bicssc 606 $aEnglish$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of engineering & technology$2bicssc 606 $ac 1700 to c 1800$2bicssc 606 $ac 1800 to c 1900$2bicssc 606 $a20th century$2bicssc 606 $ac 1900 - c 1914$2bicssc 606 $ac 1914 to c 1918 (including WW1)$2bicssc 606 $ac 1918 to c 1939 (Inter-war period)$2bicssc 606 $ac 1939 to c 1945 (including WW2)$2bicssc 607 $aUnited Kingdom, Great Britain$2bicssc 615 7$aUnited Kingdom, Great Britain 615 7$ac 1945 to c 2000 (Post-war period) 615 7$ac 1945 to c 1960 615 7$ac 1960 to c 1970 615 7$ac 1970 to c 1980 615 7$ac 1980 to c 1990 615 7$ac 1990 to c 2000 615 7$a21st century 615 7$aEuropean history 615 7$aHistory of ideas 615 7$aHistory of science 615 7$aEnglish 615 7$aHistory of engineering & technology 615 7$ac 1700 to c 1800 615 7$ac 1800 to c 1900 615 7$a20th century 615 7$ac 1900 - c 1914 615 7$ac 1914 to c 1918 (including WW1) 615 7$ac 1918 to c 1939 (Inter-war period) 615 7$ac 1939 to c 1945 (including WW2) 676 $a609.41 702 $aAgar$b Jon 702 $aWard$b Jacob 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910265244803321 996 $aHistories of Technology, the Environment and Modern Britain$92246285 997 $aUNINA
