It will be of interest to a diverse range of readers because it addresses how economic change was registered in the landscape, and how that change was influenced by landscape.  It is a book with highly original features, contributing simultaneously to economic, agricultural, environmental, and landscape history.  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-03-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030686154\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-68616-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 199\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47444662386828,"sku":"9783030686154","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030686154.jpg?v=1775918281","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030686154","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
