Representations of ‘the local’ in British colonial and contemporary business media (1850s–2010s)
Printed business media, such as daily newspapers and periodicals, historically played a central role in public understanding of the colonial enterprise. They informed and shaped the view of entrepreneurial activities, often with the effect of legitimising the colonial project. We explore representations of ‘the local’ within business media, how these have changed (or not) over time, and the mechanisms that facilitate the stickiness of representat…
After Ice
As the climate warms and the hydrological cycle falters, ice is no longer a reliable feature of higher latitudes or winter seasons. What are the consequences of the planet’s waning capacity to cool? In other words, what comes after ice? This collection examines the implications of the end of consistent freezing and thawing cycles. After Ice gathers experts in a wide range of disciplines to articulate aspects of the cold humanities. They investiga…

From Now on We All Demand
This study examines how natural and manufactured ice were embraced in the expanding realm of urban hygiene in the Finnish capital city of Helsinki during the latter half of the nineteenth century and especially during the first half of the twentieth century. The study reveals the ambivalent nature of ice, as it was used as a mediator of coldness for refrigeration purposes. While it benefited hygienic food preservation, it was increasingly perceiv…
The past, present, and future of a lake
River histories
Persistency of artificial aeration at hypertrophic Lake Tuusulanjärvi
Expanding Sanitary Infrastructure and the Shaping of River History
This article investigates the environmental history of the River Vantaa, southern Finland, and its interaction with the spatial development of water-related infrastructures in an urbanising environment. The article argues that the overlapping use of the river as part of both waste water and drinking water infrastructures has shaped its ecological characteristics and consequently influenced communities' possibilities for using it. As a response to…
The Governance of the Mitigation of the Baltic Sea Eutrophication
This article focuses on the governing system of the mitigation of eutrophication in the Baltic Sea. Policies and measures of the Baltic Sea coastal countries, the macro--regional (HELCOM) level, and the level of the European Union are described and governance challenges explicated. We found that the main challenges at different governance levels include: differences between coastal countries in terms of environmental conditions including environm…
Limitations of Environmental Success Without Successful Environmental Policy
After the Second World War, Helsinki experienced decades of modernization and rising living standards, but also the adverse consequences of modern urban life. Air pollution from energy generation, industries, waste incineration and traffic became increasingly obvious from the late 1950s onward. Scientific uncertainty about the nature and severity of the problem, together with a lack of appropriate legal tools to combat air pollution, resulted in …
