Famine: A Short History,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Famine remains one of the worst calamities that can befall a society. Mass starvationwhether it is inflicted by drought or engineered by misguided or genocidal economic policiesdevastates families, weakens the social fabric, and undermines political stability. Cormac Grda, the acclaimed author who chronicled the tragic Irish famine in books like Black '47 and Beyond, here traces the complete history of famine from the earliest records to today.Combining powerful storytelling with the latest evidence from economics and history, Grda explores the causes and profound consequences of famine over the past five millennia, from ancient Egypt to the killing fields of 1970s Cambodia, from the Great Famine of fourteenthcentury Europe to the famine in Niger in 2005. He enriches our understanding of the most crucial and farreaching aspects of famine, including the roles that population pressure, public policy, and human agency play in causing famine; how food markets can mitigate famine or make it worse; famine's longterm demographic consequences; and the successes and failures of globalized disaster relief. Grda demonstrates the central role famine has played in the economic and political histories of places as different as Ukraine under Stalin, 1940s Bengal, and Mao's China. And he examines the prospects of a world free of famine.This is the most comprehensive history of famine available, and is required reading for anyone concerned with issues of economic development and world poverty.
