Understanding the environmental history of early modern societies through rivers, oceans, forests, disease, plants and animals.
Why should we call big dams as ‘creative destruction’? In the present talk we will see how the Twentieth century witnessed big Dam constructions all around the globe and why they were considered the symbols of economic development.
