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 paperback editions preserve the original texts of these
important books while presenting them in durable paperback
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.
