About this work

Description

"A provocative introductory text the first to integrate the Western energy crisis with Third World food shortage, analysing the history and politics which have led to this explosive situation. Why are two thirds of the world impoverished? Have we exhausted the soil's capacity to feed our present world population? What part does food production play in the generation of national wealth, and should we knowingly destroy our natural energy resources coal and oil? Caldwell examines both the scientific and sociopolitical principles governing food production and energy usage in the world today. This provides an essential text for 1st year social and natural scientists."-- From back cover.
