In excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlig hting. The spine remains undamaged. While it is possible to trace some general tendencies and developments in the course of the century, it is necessary to look closely and critically at the similarities and differences between the various islands and archipelagos. The conditions on each of the islands are related to their individual histories and to physical factors such as terrain and the degree of remoteness from other land, particularly from the centres of population, trade and government. The topics covered by this fascinating and scholarly book include: patterns of landownership and tenancy; types of agriculture; the work of the farmer and of the craftsmen and professional people within the community; the trade links of the Isles. The book concludes with a discussion of the relative wealth and status of members of these island communities, and suggests that the position of some members may have been more ambiguous and nuanced than has hitherto been thought., Very Good Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
