内容説明
In 1750 England's population of around six million depended on the land, and landowners controlled not only Parliament and government but, as magistrates, their local districts too. Today, a population eight times larger perceives the land as a place for residence or recreation, rather than a vital economic resource, and landowners have surrendered most of their former political power. Gordon Mingay's engaging book charts the progress, causes and consequences of this major transformation, and, in tracing the development of our modern world, vividly evokes the world that has gone.
