- This book is the culmination of research projects in many interrelated fields, bringing together histories of water access, pollution, safety, purity and use in a manner that breaks down disciplinary boundaries and suggests new methodologies. Via complex research in national, regional and local archives across Britain – work conducted over many years – this full-length monograph deploys techniques from historical geography, sociology, gender studies and economics to draw up a compelling picture of water’s influence and role in post-war British society. It makes a deep theoretical and evidential contribution to important emergent literatures combining environmental and human histories.
