Sinossi
Measures for Measure features once greatly-disturbed landscapes – now largely reclaimed, physically at least, by post-industrial activity. Yet the surviving machines, buildings and housing of the original Industrial Revolution, founded mostly upon Coal Measures strata, still loom large over many parts of Britain. They do so nowadays in the family-friendly and informative context of industrial museums, reconstructed industrial settlements, preserved landscapes and historic townscapes. Our society and its creative core of literature, visual arts and architecture were profoundly affected by the whole process. The British Carboniferous legacy for wider humankind was profound and permanent, more so with the realisation over the last 60 or so years that the emission of carbon dioxide during human utilisation of fossil fuels has caused global warming – with all its many unintended consequences.Coal, iron ore and other metallic ores and materials had been extracted from Carboniferous strata and traded for over five hundred years before the Industrial Revolution, notably since thirteenth century in the 'London Trade' of coal from Tyneside.

Measures for Measure
Da: Postscript Books, Newton Abbot, DEVON, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Hardcover. Condizione: New. Mike Leeder explores the ways in which the British Industrial Revolution was rooted in its geology, particularly its Carboniferous and iron deposits. After introducing figures such as James Watt who were instrumental in industrialization, he explains the geological conditions that created the Carboniferous environment and the social and human consequences of the Revolution, including urban growth and climate change, before looking at its legacy across different regions.
