Secure from Rash Assault: Sustaining the Victorian Environment by James Winter, published by the University of California Press. This is the 2002 trade-paperback edition and its first printing.
Winter examines the environmental effects of industrialization, urbanization, agriculture, resource extraction, and population growth in nineteenth-century Britain. Challenging the assumption that Victorian development caused universal ecological devastation, he explains how traditional farming, forest preservation, landed estates, imported resources, technological limitations, and growing interest in recreation helped protect portions of the British landscape.
A scholarly work for readers interested in Victorian Britain, environmental history, industrialization, conservation, economics, and the relationship between cities and rural landscapes.
Trade paperback shows edge wear, creasing, rubbing, discoloration, and curled covers. Former-owner bookplate stamp for Jerry L. Coalgate appears inside, along with additional decorative stamps on the title and copyright pages and a small stamp on the upper page edge. Removed label residue and surface loss are present on the lower back cover. Text remains readable and binding appears secure. Please review all photos.
