内容説明
Coming to the New World paradise of New Zealand the 19th-century colonial settlers did not expect to find the Old World evils of dirt and decay. But this original and fascinating book shows that dirt there was and that over time opinions changed about just what it was, what should be done about it and who had responsibility for dealing with it. Pamela Wood, drawing on extensive research largely in Dunedin, wades through topics like mud and swamps, sewerage, toilets, slums, abattoirs and cemeteries with cheerful attention to the polluted and the putrid. She explores the roles of doctors and hospitals and of local authorities in the protection of public health from disease and decay. She offers a refreshing, unexpected and valuable insight into our social and cultural history.
