Killer Dust in the Classroom
In Britain in the 1970s and 1980s public perception of the dangers of asbestos changed dramatically as asbestos came to be understood as an environmental and public health risk, rather than one limited to those who worked in the industry.

This article examines how, in the 1980s, asbestos in s…

The histories of air power and the aerial bombardment of cities have centred on the Second World…
