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.

Paperback. Zustand: 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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332313747_0
