A sweeping history of how ecological challenges have shaped English society over the last sixty years. England’s Green explores how environmental concerns have shaped and reflected English national identity since the 1960s. From agriculture to leisure, climate change, folklore, archaeology, and religion, David Matless shows how national environmental debates connect to the local, regional, global, and postcolonial worlds. Moving across a breadth of material including government policy, popular music, ecological polemic, and television comedy, England’s Green shows the richness and complexity of English environmental culture. Along the way, Matless tracks how today’s debates over climate and nature, land, and culture, have been molded by events over the past sixty years.

The Collected Works of H. G. Wells is a monumental collection of science fiction novels, short stories, and essays that showcase H. G. Wells' visionary imagination and his profound impact on the genre. Wells' literary style is characterized by his ability to combine scientific speculation with social commentary, creating works that are both thought-provoking and entertaining. From the timeless classic 'The War of the Worlds' to the imaginative 'The Invisible Man', this collection is a treasure trove of imaginative storytelling that continues to captivate readers today. H. G. Wells, a prolific writer and social reformer, was heavily influenced by his interest in scientific advancements and his concerns about the future of society. His experiences growing up in the industrial age inspired many of his works, which often explore themes of progress, morality, and the consequences of unchecked power. Wells' curiosity about the world and his desire to envision different futures drove him to create some of the most enduring works in science fiction literature. I highly recommend The Collected Works of H. G. Wells to anyone interested in exploring the intersections of science, society, and imagination. Wells' ability to blend scientific accuracy with speculative fiction makes this collection a must-read for fans of the genre and those interested in the ways in which literature can shape our understanding of the world.
