ISBN: 9780198206620 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Yet crops from the past like flax, hemp, rapeseed, and woad are gradually reappearing in the "modern" countryside. Thirsk reveals how the forces which drive the current interest in alternative forms of agriculture--a glut of mainstream meat and cereal crops, changing patterns of diet, the needs of medicine--have striking parallels with earlier periods of English history, emphasizing that solutions to current problems...
