Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Destruction of Daylight: A Study in the Smoke Problem
The book was ready for the printer before the claims of Coalite were brought before the public. It receives such mention as is at present safe, and we can only earnestly hope that it may work the revolution anticipated.
These pages will be found to contain frequent references to Ruskin's works. But this is appropriate, seeing that they have been written at the request, and under the auspices, of the Guild of S. George, founded by Ruskin, as readers of Fore know, in 1871.

Excerpt from The Destruction of Daylight: A Study in the Smoke Problem
These pages do not aspire to teach anything to the smoke expert. They are not an original research in chemistry or in engineering. It will be sufficient if they are found to be correct, so far as they go, in their chemical and engineering facts. They are rather addressed to the ordinary manufacturer and to the citizen, for it is in their hands that the cure now lies. The engineers have provided for every case smokeless, or nearly smokeless, devices of which these pages contain information.
It is now for the public to amend and, above all, to enforce the law.
This is an appropriate time for an attack upon smoke. Many minds are turning gravely to face the waste of our national capital in coal, and anything which promises economy of power is eagerly sought.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Written in the early 20th century, this book delves into the severe and ever-worsening problem of air pollution in England during a time of rapid industrialization. When writing this book, the author was motivated by a sense of urgency and an aim to draw immediate action to the issue of air pollution. The author claims that smoke is destructive to England's natural beauty, detrimental to the health and happiness of its people, and damaging to its economy. This book provides evidence that though smoke and fog go hand in hand, it is smoke that is the main culprit for the pea-soup fogs that plague cities like London. Additionally, the author discusses in detail the negative effects that smoke has on human health, hygiene, architecture, and more. The author concludes by suggesting that the smoke problem is one for all of society to solve, not just the duty of manufacturers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332313747_0
