Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex relationship between land quality, population, and the rhythm of progress and decay in human societies. It draws upon a wealth of historical and geographical examples, particularly focusing on the United States, to demonstrate how the quality of land directly influences economic prosperity, social development, and even the size of families.
