Couverture du Stefania Barca: Enclosing Water (PDF)

"Enclosing Water" is an environmental history of the Industrial Revolution, as inscribed on the Liri valley in Italy’s Central Apennines. Amid forces of revolution and empire, and Enlightenment discourses of ‘improvement’ and political economy, the Liri’s natural wealth – water-power – generated sweeping changes in its landscape and working and living environments. ENCLOSING WATER was the winner of the 2011 TURKU BOOK AWARD for environmental history.
