Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Famines in India: Their Causes and Possible Prevention"" is a historical book written by Arthur Lukyn Williams in 1876. The book analyzes the causes of famines in India during the 19th century and proposes possible solutions to prevent them. The author examines various factors that contribute to famines, including natural disasters like droughts, floods, and cyclones, as well as man-made issues such as inadequate infrastructure, ineffective government policies, and economic exploitation. Williams also explores the social and economic impact of famines on the Indian population, particularly on the poorest and most vulnerable sections of society. He argues that famines can be prevented through a combination of measures, including better irrigation and agricultural practices, improved transportation and communication systems, and more effective relief efforts. The book is based on extensive research and statistical data, and provides a comprehensive overview of the causes and consequences of famines in India. It is a valuable resource for historians, economists, and policymakers interested in understanding the complex issues surrounding food security and famine prevention in India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
