5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent history of population and agriculture.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Feeding the Ten Billion: Plants and Population Growth (Paperback)
This work is an efficient survey of agriculture and its relation to population growth through history. The chapters are designed to focus on population growth through time. For example chapter 2 is: Reaching for 5 million ( to 8000BC); chapter 3 is: Towards 50 million ( 8000-2000BC); chapter 4 is: The first half-billion ( 2000BC-1500AD); chapter 5 is: Towards the first billion (1500-1825) etc. Under each heading is a discussion of the critical agricultural developments during that time period. The last chapter focuses on the problems of feeding 10 billion people in the future.The research is detailed and knowledgable. The sources are modern and uptodate. The writing is precise. It is an excellent book that covers a lot of ground in a small compass. Highly recommended.

I had to buy this for course on Agriculture. Found it most instructive. The writing is a bit choppy but the formate made it easy to assimilate.
