Timescapes of Modernity: The Environment and Invisible Hazards (Global Environmental Change) - Softcover
Synopsis
Timescapes of Modernity explores the relationship between time and environmental and socio-cultural concerns. Using examples such as the BSE crisis, the Sea Empress oil pollution and the Chernobyl radiation Barbara Adam argues that environmental hazards are inescapably tied to the successes of the industrial way of life. Global markets and economic growth; large-scale production of food; the speed of transport and communication; the 24 hour society and even democratic politics are among the invisible hazards we face. With this unique 'timescape' perspective the author dislodges assumptions about environmental change, enables a rethinking of environmental problems and provides the potential for new strategies to deal with environmental hazards.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Timescapes of Modernity focuses on time to facilitate a deeper understanding of the interactions between environmental, economic, political and socio-cultural concerns. Thinking of the environment as a timescape allows us to see the hazards of the industrial way of life in a new light; the invisible becomes tangible. We begin to recognise processes that work below the surface until they materialise as symptoms - sometime, somewhere. In Timescapes Barbara Adam argues that environmental hazards are inescapably tied to the successes of the industrial way of life: global markets and economic growth; large-scale production of food; the speed of transport and communication; the 24 hour society and even democratic politics. Introducing the notion of timescapes she emphasises the complexity of time and brings to the forefront of socio-environmental concerns the rhythms, timings, changes and contingencies that permeate the story of industrial success and excess.With this unique 'timescape' perspective the author dislodges taken-for-granted assumptions about environmental change, enables reformulation of environmental problems and their cures and provides the potential for innovative new strategies to deal with some of the most severe environmental hazards of our time. Introducing a unique 'timescape' perspective the author reexamines environmental problems and their cures and provides the potential for innovative new strategies to deal with environmental hazards.
