Confronting the Climate: British Airs and the Making of Environmental Medicine - Palgrave Studies in the History of Science and Technology
Vladimir Jankovic
This book explores the social origins of the Western preoccupation with health and environmental hazards. It looks at the rise of the dichotomy between the vulnerable 'in' and the threatening 'out' by examining the pathologies associated with weather, domestic space, ventilation, clothing, and travel in Britain at the turn of the 19th century.
