Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'China: Land of Famine' is a seminal geographical and social study that investigates the persistent and devastating cycles of hunger that plagued China during the early 20th century. Written by Walter H. Mallory, who served as Secretary of the China International Famine Relief Commission, this work…provides a comprehensive analysis of the multi-faceted causes behind one of the world's most significant humanitarian challenges.The book categorizes the causes of famine into four primary dimensions: economic, natural, political, and social. Mallory meticulously examines how environmental factors such as deforestation, soil erosion, and primitive agricultural techniques contributed to natural disasters like floods and droughts. Furthermore, the work explores the impact of overpopulation, internal political instability, and the lack of modern transportation infrastructure on regional food security. By integrating geographic data with social observation, the author offers a poignant look at the struggle for survival in a land of vast potential yet recurring tragedy.A vital historical document for those interested in Asian history, economic development, and humanitarian aid, 'China: Land of Famine' remains an essential reference for understanding the environmental and systemic roots of food insecurity in East Asia. It serves as both a rigorous scientific inquiry and a compelling study of the intersection between geography and human welfare.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
