Books by Stephen (Leeds Metropolitan University Mosley

Covering the last five hundred years of global history, this title examines the processes that have transformed the Earth and put growing pressure on natural resources.

Traces competing narratives of smoke, and examines how the rhetoric of smoke was used by contemporaries to rationalise, naturalise or criticise the dramatic changes wrought by air pollution in Victorian and Edwardian Manchester. This book explains why a century of campaigning did so little to reduce the city's pollution.
