Scarcity in the Modern World brings together world-renowned
scholars to examine how concerns about the scarcity of
environmental resources such as water, food, energy and materials
have developed, and subsequently been managed, from the 18th to the
21st century. These multi-disciplinary contributions situate
contemporary concerns about scarcity within their longer history,
and address recent forecasts and debates surrounding the future
scarcity of fossil fuels, renewable energy and water up to 2075.
This book offers a fresh way of tackling the current challenge of
meeting global needs in an increasingly resource-stressed
environment. By bringing together scholars from a variety of
academic disciplines, this volume provides an innovative
multi-disciplinary perspective that corrects previous scholarship
which has discussed scientific and cultural issues separately. In
doing so, it recognizes that this challenge is complex and cannot
be addressed by a single discipline, but requires a concerted
effort to think about its political and social, as well as
technical and economic dimensions. This volume is essential for all
students and scholars of environmental and economic history.
