Omschrijving

"The Agricultural Revolution of the Middle Ages" by Ryan Evans offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the most pivotal transformations in European history: the evolution of agriculture from the 9th to the 14th century. This book delves into the technological innovations, such as the heavy plow, horse collar, and three-field system, that revolutionized farming practices and increased food production. The narrative examines how these advancements not only fueled population growth but also reshaped the social, economic, and political structures of medieval Europe. From the role of the Church in promoting agricultural knowledge to the impact of warfare and climate change, Evans provides a thorough analysis of the forces that drove this agricultural revolution. The book also explores the long-lasting effects on trade, urbanization, and the development of market economies, setting the stage for the Renaissance and the rise of modern Europe. Richly detailed and thoroughly researched, this work offers an insightful look into the agricultural foundations that shaped the medieval world and beyond.
