Michelle McAlpin moves beyond the concerns of previous studies of
famine (most of which focus on governmental procedures designed to
alleviate it) and examines hitherto neglected problems, such as the
quantitative evaluation of food grain shortages, the nature and
extent of popular insurance mechanisms in famine-afflicted areas,
and the effects of famine on population growth and on long-range
economic performance. Originally published in 1983. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
