The Origins of Environmentalism

[alex lantsberg]

i remember reading of some studies examining health conditions, industrialization levels, and class in mid 19th century england.  i dont recall who did the study, but it was one of the first to show the correlation between class and health in an industrial economy.

    Frances, thank you very much.  Forests, I 

    believe are different because of

    their military value.  I know that during the 

    late 1600s, the British were

    worried about maintaining their supplies of 

    timber for building ships.   I

    don't know Worster's book, but I understand 

    that it is very good.
