Histories of Technology, the Environment and Modern Britain brings together historians with a wide range of interests to take a uniquely wide-lens view of how technology and the environment have been intimately and irreversibly entangled in Britain over the last 300 years. It combines, for the first time, two perspectives with much to say about Britain since the industrial revolution: the history of technology and environmental history. Technologies are modified environments, just as nature is to varying extents engineered. Furthermore, technologies and our living and non-living environment are both predominant material forms of organisation – and self-organisation – that surround and make us. Both have changed over time, in intersecting ways. Technologies discussed in the collection include bulldozers, submarine cables, automobiles, flood barriers, medical devices, museum displays and biotechnologies. Environments investigated include bogs, cities, farms, places of natural beauty and pollution, land and sea. The book explores this diversity but also offers an integrated framework for understanding these intersections.

Don't you kind of hate how we've joined the decadent phase of Goodreads wherein perhaps fifty % (or more) of the opinions compiled by non-teenagers and non-romancers are actually nude and unabashed within their variously successful efforts at being arc, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you sort of wood (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's happy druthers) for the nice ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all opinions were consistently plainspoke Don't you kind of hate how we've joined the decadent stage of Goodreads wherein probably fifty percent (or more) of the opinions published by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now actually nude and unabashed within their variously successful attempts at being posture, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you kind of wood (secretly, in the marrow of your gut's merry druthers) for the great ol'days of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all opinions were evenly plainspoken, merely utilitarian, unpretentious, and -- especially else -- dull, boring, dull? Do not you sort of hate when persons claim'don't you think in this manner or sense this way'in an effort to goad you both psychologically and grammatically in to accepting using them? In the words of ABBA: I do, I really do, I do(, I do, I do). Properly, since the interwebs is just a earth where days gone by stands shoulder-to-shoulder with today's (and with fetish porn), we could revisit yesteryear in their inviolable presentness any moment we wish. Or at least till this amazing site ultimately tanks. Consider (won't you?) Matt Nieberle's review of Macbeth in its entirety. I have destined it with much rope and pulled it here for your perusal. (Please recognize that many a sic are intended in the following reviews.) its actually complicated and stupid! why cant we be examining like Romeo and Juliet?!?! at the very least that guide is excellent! There you have it. Refreshingly, not a review published in one of the witch's voices or alluding to Hillary and Bill Clinton or discussing the reviewer's first period. Just a primal yell unleashed in to the black wilderness of the cosmos.Yes, Mr. Nieberle is (probably) an adolescent, but I admire his power to strongarm the temptation to be clever or ironic. (Don't you?) He speaks the native language of the idk generation having an economy and a clarity that renders his convictions all the more emphatic. Here's MICHAEL's review of the exact same play. You may'know'MICHAEL; he is the'Problems Architect'here at Goodreads. (A problematic title itself in that it implies that he designs problems... which can be the case, for all I know.) This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that you do not want to learn is awful. Reading a play kinda sucks in the first place, if it was supposed to be read, then it will be a novel, not really a play. On top of that the teach had us students see the play aloud (on person for every single character for a couple pages). None people had read the play before. None folks wanted to see it (I made the mistake of taking the'easy'english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that appeared as if they weren't paying attention. All this compounded to create me pretty much hate reading classics for something such as 10 years (granted macbeth alone wasn't the problem). I also hate iambic pentameter. Pure activism there. STOP the mandatory reading of plays. It's wrong, morally and academically. Plus it really can fuck up your GPA. There's no wasteful extravagance in this editorial... no fanfare, no fireworks, no linked photos of half-naked, oiled-up, big-bosomed starlets, no invented dialogues between mcdougal and the review-writer. It's simple and memorable. Being required to read plays is wrong, and in the event that you require anyone, under duress, to see a play you then have sinned and are going to hell, if you rely on hell. If not, you're planning to the DMV. I am also fed up with all you could smug spelling snobs. You damnable fascists along with your new-fangled dictionaries and your fancy-schmancy spell check. Sometimes the passionate immediacy of a note overcomes its spelling limitations. Also, in this age when we are taught to respect each other's differences, it appears offensively egocentric and mean-spirited you may anticipate others tokowtow on your petty linguistic rules. Imaginative manifestation will probably totally free per se no matter how you might try to shackle it. Which is the cue, Aubrey. Within my very own opinion, the particular perform Macbeth appeared to be this worste peice at any time published by Shakespeare, and this also says considerably considering furthermore understand the Romeo in addition to Juliet. Ontop associated with it can be presently fantastic storyline, unlikely personas plus absolutly discusting range of ethics, Shakespeare publicly portrays Girl Macbeth since the accurate vilian from the play. Looking at the girl with mearly your voice inside the rear spherical and Macbeth themselves is actually truely choosing a ugly criminal activity, including hard along with fraud, I really don't discover why it's very effortless to visualize in which Macbeth could be ready to try and do superior instead of nasty if perhaps his or her wife were extra possitive. In my opinion until this participate in is uterally unrealistic. But this is undoubtedly a ne plus ultra of timeless e book reviewing. Although succinct along with without any distracting interest to help coyness as well as cuteness, Jo's examine alludes into a bitterness therefore serious it's inexpressible. One particular imagines a few Signet Vintage Models hacked so that you can bits along with pruning shears inside Jo's vicinity. I don't really like this play. So much so that I can not sometimes supply you with every analogies as well as similes about simply how much My spouse and i not like it. An incrementally snarkier type may have said one thing like...'I detest this particular participate in as being a simile I am unable to surface with.' Not Jo. Your lover addresses any natural, undecorated real truth not fit for figurative language. Along with there is nothing wrong with that. One time around an excellent when, when you are getting neck-deep around dandified pomo hijinks, it is a fantastic wallow while in the pig put in writing you are itchin'for. Thanks a lot, Jo. I enjoy both you and your ineffective clasping at similes which cannot method the bilious hate in the heart. That you are quarry, and I will be yours. Figuratively conversing, involving course. And after this here is my evaluation: Macbeth by simply William Shakespeare is the best fictional do the job inside the The english language terminology, and also anybody who disagrees is usually an asshole along with a dumbhead.
