Synopsis

This book contains an abundance of historical data on demographics and agriculture across the globe. From ancient times to the present day, covering pre-industrial China, feudal Europe, and the Americas, the book takes a longitudinal and global view of agriculture. The author focuses on data from the past 200 years, during which agricultural development has led to massive changes in living conditions, rising living standards, and the expansion of industrial society. The data provides a global history of agriculture and its impact on world history, meticulously organized into readable tables and charts, making comparisons of countries and periods easy and valuable for both casual readers and academics alike.
