520    "Ó Gráda explores the causes and profound consequences of 
       famine over the past five millennia ... He enriches our 
       understanding of the most crucial and far-reaching aspects
       of famine; how food markets can mitigate famine or make it
       worse; famine's long-term demographic consequences; and 
       the successes or failures of globalized disaster relief. Ó
       Gráda demonstrates the central role famine has played in 
       the economic and political histories of places"--Publisher
