Industry Reviews

'Most refreshing and instructive, this book is quite special in drawing together past history with present-day discussions about agricultural policy. A most original book, historical at the outset but not confined to the historical past.' - Joan Thirsk, author of Alternative Agriculture. A History: From the Black Death to the Present Day
