From the second half of the 1940s, when postwar reconstruction began in Italy, there emerged three significant driving forces of environmental change: the unstoppable process of urban drift, fueled by substantial migratory flows from the countryside and southern regions toward the cities where large-scale productive activities were beginning to gather momentum; unrestrained industrial development, which was tolerated as a necessary tribute to progress and modernization; and mass consumption. In his fourth book, Federico Paolini presents a comprehensive collection of essays that explore a wide range of environmental topics, including the utilization of natural resources, the consequences of transportation-related environmental issues, and the dynamics of the environmental movement. Paolini concludes the book with a forward-looking forecast regarding the environmental challenges that are likely to dominate the public discourse of the twenty-first century.
