Originally published in 1994, this book links the distant past with
the urgent problems of today, taking the reader on a literary and
scientific tour of global pollution from pre-history to the
post-industrial age. Ancient problems such as lead poisoning in
Rome and water pollution in Mesopotamia provide the background to a
discussion of modern catastrophes including the hole in the ozone
layer, climate change and the global drinking water crisis. The
book chronicles 800 years of pollution in London, charts the growth
of environmental activism and spotlights the rise of the consumer
society as the driving force behind today's malaise.
