Dissects a Global Environmental Legacy That Will Shape Policies in the New Millennium

Worldwide, plantations are key economic institutions of the modern era. This book includes essays on commodities as diverse as coffee, cotton, rubber, oranges, and tobacco, to offer an overview of plantation systems from Latin America to New Zealand that exposes the many dimensions of environmental history incorporated in these institutions.

The Age of Smoke provides an original, comparative history of environmental policy development in Germany and the United States from 1880 to 1970, and the rise of civic activism to combat air pollution.
