内容説明

Urban life in America is supported by an invisible infrastructure. This text explores water supply, wastewater and solid-waste disposal systems in US cities from the colonial era to the present day. Martin Melosi explores the changing technologies and expanding population, along with the public health and ecological theories and practices which developed during this period of American history. The author shows how the social beliefs and scientific understandings that emerged during these eras influenced Americans' view of the critical issues of waste and sanitation in urban life and how they came to accept solutions to the problems of sanitation, water delivery and waste removal.
