{"product_id":"comparing-apples-oranges-and-cotton-frank-uekzitter-9783593500287","title":"Comparing Apples, Oranges, and Cotton: Environmental Histories of the Global Plantation","description":"Worldwide, plantations are key economic institutions of the modern era. From an environmental perspective, they are also the settings for some of the most powerful, consequential, and frequently destructive modes of production ever to have existed. This volume assembles essays on commodities as diverse as coffee, cotton, rubber, apples, oranges, and tobacco, to provide an overview of plantation systems from Latin America to New Zealand that exposes the many dimensions of environmental history incorporated in these robust institutions. The global history of plantation systems not only highlights the great institutional resilience of our modern monocultures, but also the price that humans and environments have paid for them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Uekötter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3593500280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783593500287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Campus Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 6.08w x 0.78d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2015 pg. 1205","brand":"Frank Uekötter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48089115754751,"sku":"9783593500287","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3807a9d-fab4-40f6-8582-a6dc537f5581.jpg?v=1769108272","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/comparing-apples-oranges-and-cotton-frank-uekzitter-9783593500287","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
