The Physiology of Industry is a remarkable work which set out to challenge contemporary theory surrounding the economics of labour, supply and demand. First published in 1889, Hobson's first book outlines some of the key areas of his theory of underconsumption. The precise contribution of Mummery, who died in a mountaineering accident in 1895, is unclear, although Hobson did state that it was heated debates with the businessman that gave him faith in these theories. The chapters analyse the nature of production, the relationship between wealth and consumption, the influence of the supply of go

ABSTRACTA sewage‐treatment odour‐prevention model has been developed as a result of investigations using an environmental wind tunnel. The model was validated at a full‐scale sewage‐treatment works and realistic estimates of odour‐emission rates from a variety of sewage‐treatment processes were obtained. The model can be used to predict odour and hydrogen sulphide gas‐emission rates from many types of sewage‐treatment processes, offering (a) improved reliability in odour‐emission rate quantification, (b) reduced monitoring costs, and (c) an improved insight into the causes of odour problems.
