As a mode of thinking it goes back hundreds of years. Yet we typically imagine ourselves among the first to grasp the impact humanity has on the environment. Hence there is a fashion for green confessions and &lt;i&gt;mea culpas&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But the notion of a contemporary ecological awakening leads to political impasse. It erases a long history of environmental destruction. Furthermore, by focusing on our present virtues, it overlooks the struggles from which our perspective arose.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In response, &lt;i&gt;Happy Apocalypse&lt;/i&gt; plunges us into the heart of controversies that emerged in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries around factories, machines, vaccines and railways. Jean-Baptiste Fressoz demonstrates how risk was conceived, managed, distributed and erased to facilitate industrialization. He explores how clinical expertise around 1800 allowed vaccination to be presented as completely benign, how the polluter-pays principle emerged in the nineteenth century to legitimize the chemical industry, how safety norms were invented to secure industrial capital and how criticisms and objections were silenced or overcome to establish technological modernity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Societies of the past did not inadvertently alter their environments on a massive scale. Nor did they disregard the consequences of their decisions. They seriously considered them, sometimes with dread. The history recounted in this book is not one of a sudden awakening but a process of modernising environmental disinhibition. 606 $aScience / Global Warming & Climate Change$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical Science / Public Policy / Environmental Policy$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical Science / History & Theory$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical science 615 7$aScience / Global Warming & Climate Change 615 7$aPolitical Science / Public Policy / Environmental Policy 615 7$aPolitical Science / History & Theory 615 0$aPolitical science. 700 $aFressoz$b Jean-Baptiste$0789961 702 $aBroder$b David 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 912 $a9910888049803321 996 $aHappy Apocalypse$94237989 997 $aUNINA
