Smoke by Julius Berend Cohen Pdf

Excerpt from Smoke: A Study of Town Air The subject Of the emission of coal smoke from chimneys is one which has for many years past forced itself with increasing prominence upon the notice of those residing in the larger towns. It is admittedly its aesthetic rather than its economic aspect which has appealed, in the first instance, to popular sentiment. Blackened buildings, darkened skies, and the general air of dirt and gloom which are typical of an English industrial centre have aroused a growing feeling of dissatisfaction among a certain section of the community, and have led to the formation here and there of societies for the prevention of smoke. Some of these societies have pursued their object with praiseworthy energy. By means of pamphlets, public addresses, conferences and exhibitions of smoke-preventing appliances they have sought to enlist public sympathy. They have pointed to the loss of fuel which coal smoke entails, to the physical deteriora tion and lo'wered vitality of the inhabitants of towns caused by inhaling a contaminated atmosphere, to the loss of daylight, and to the destruction of vegetation. It is a remarkable fact, nevertheless, that in face of the active propaganda of these societies, and a very widespread sympathy with their aims, as well as the existence of certain repressive legislative measures directed against the smoke of factories, placed in the hands of the local authority, the emission of smoke continues with almost unabated vigour from both house and factory chimneys.

Smoke and Mirrors by E. Melanie Dupuis Pdf

From the sixteenth to early-nineteenth century, four times more Africans than Europeans crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. While this forced migration stripped slaves of their liberty, it failed to destroy many of their cultural practices, which came with Africans to the New World. In Working the Diaspora, Frederick Knight examines work cultures on both sides of the Atlantic, from West and West Central Africa to British North America and the Caribbean. Knight demonstrates that the knowledge that Africans carried across the Atlantic shaped Anglo-American agricultural development and made particularly important contributions to cotton, indigo, tobacco, and staple food cultivation. The book also compellingly argues that the work experience of slaves shaped their views of the natural world. Broad in scope, clearly written, and at the center of current scholarly debates, Working the Diaspora challenges readers to alter their conceptual frameworks about Africans by looking at them as workers who, through the course of the Atlantic slave trade and plantation labor, shaped the development of the Americas in significant ways.

The Resilient City in World War II by Simo Laakkonen,J. R. McNeill,Richard P. Tucker,Timo Vuorisalo Pdf

The fate of towns and cities stands at the center of the environmental history of World War II. Broad swaths of cityscapes were destroyed by the bombing of targets such as transport hubs, electrical grids, and industrial districts, and across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, urban environments were transformed by the massive mobilization of human and natural resources to support the conflict. But at the same time, the war saw remarkable resilience among the human and non-human residents of cities. Foregrounding the concept of urban resilience, this collection uncovers the creative survival strategies that city-dwellers of all kinds turned to in the midst of environmental devastation. As the first major study at the intersection of environmental, urban, and military history, The Resilient City in World War II lays the groundwork for an improved understanding of rapid change in urban environments, and how societies may adapt.
