Focusing on the interplay between time and environmental issues, the book examines significant crises like BSE, Sea Empress oil pollution, and Chernobyl radiation to illustrate how these hazards are linked to industrial success. It critiques global markets, rapid communication, and the demands of a 24-hour society as underlying threats. By introducing a 'timescape' perspective, the author challenges traditional views on environmental change, encouraging a reevaluation of these problems and suggesting innovative strategies for addressing them.
