Table of ContentsReviewsThe impact of art in this book to visually enhance the documented history of agriculture is so vivid that I was able to imagine the sense of place that landscapes that no longer exist, must have portrayed to those who lived and worked within them. While there are certainly many other books on the history of agriculture, no other that I have ever read has interwoven the topic with visual art in such an evocative manner. I found this book utterly fascinating and on occasions it evokes powerful parallels with Simon Sharma's brilliant Landscape and Memory or even Kenneth Clark's Civilization.
