BOOK - paperback, epub


A sweeping historical study that connects the fate of civilizations to their relationship with the land. Dr. Guy Wrench argues that history is not just a record of wars and kings, but of soil fertility and degradation.

By examining examples from Ancient Rome, China, and the British Empire, Wrench demonstrates that the stability of any society depends on its farmers.


This Distant Mirror edition revives a crucial text for understanding the ecological basis of history.
