Descrizione The Chimney of the World
Traces competing narratives of smoke, and examines how the rhetoric of smoke was used by contemporaries to rationalise, naturalise or criticise the dramatic changes wrought by air pollution in Victorian and Edwardian Manchester. This book explains why a century of campaigning did so little to reduce the city's pollution.
