Toxic Timescapes
Examining Toxicity across Time and Space
Edited by Simone M. Müller and May-Brith Ohman Nielsen
From radioactive waste to coral reefs, this environmental humanities volume reconsiders contamination and pollution as toxic timescapes: dynamic events with both temporal and spatial dimensions. The new concept promises to transform our knowledge of history, human geography, science and technology studies, philosophy, and political ecology.
