Why read it?
1 author picked A Rural Economy in Transition as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Combining archaeology with landscape history, social, political, and economic history, Izdebski’s book is also a handbook on how to do environmental history, with detailed and informative methodological considerations on the problems that come with it. It is quite technical in places, but really sets out very clearly how historians who want to incorporate palaeoscientific data into their discussion should be doing it.
From John's list on premodern societies, climate, and environment.
