Reviews

it is an impressive achievement to cover six thousand years of history in only three hundred pages and to do so by offering many perspectives in an accessible way. The book can be recommended to everyone more about Swedish agricultural history. Moreover, the book could be even more useful for researchers doing comparative agricultural history.Erland Mårald, Umeå Universitet, Agricultural History, Volume 86, No. 3, Summer 2012
