Synopsis

Garbage Crematories in America (1906) is a book written by William Mayo Venable that explores the issue of garbage disposal in the United States during the early 20th century. The book delves into the history of garbage collection and disposal, examining the various methods that were used at the time, including dumping in rivers and oceans, burying, and burning. Venable focuses on the use of crematories for garbage disposal, which were becoming increasingly popular in America. He examines the technology behind these crematories and the benefits they offer, such as reducing the amount of waste in landfills and preventing the spread of disease. The book also discusses the challenges associated with the use of crematories, including concerns about air pollution and the potential for explosions. Venable provides detailed descriptions of several crematories in operation at the time and offers his own opinions on their effectiveness and safety. Overall, Garbage Crematories in America provides a comprehensive look at the state of garbage disposal in the United States in the early 20th century and the various solutions being proposed and implemented at the time. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of waste management and environmental issues.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Until May 1904 the writer had not dhcted his attention to the construction of garbage crematories, although he had been deeply interested in kindred problems. It then unexpectedly devolved upon him to remedy defects in the design of garbage crematories already built, and to advise regarding the prosecution of patents in which friends were interested. This work involved investigation of what has been done in the field of crematory construction a study which has been carried on by two methods, namely, inspection of installations actually built, and analysis of features of design asdiscoverable from Patent Office records. To place the useful data so secured where others may profit by them is one object of this book. An attempt has been made to indicate the principles of design of every type of crematory built in the United States, and to give a list of installations at least large enough to enable any interested party to look into the merits and to mark the development of any system. The writer would be glad to receive supplementary data. However, the scope of the book is not limited to a discussion of designs.
