Download or read book The Fruits of Natural Advantage written by Steven Stoll and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1998-11-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The once arid valleys and isolated coastal plains of California are today the center of fruit production in the United States. Steven Stoll explains how a class of capitalist farmers made California the nation's leading producer of fruit and created the first industrial countryside in America. This brilliant portrayal of California from 1880 to 1930 traces the origins, evolution, and implications of the fruit industry while providing a window through which to view the entire history of California. Stoll shows how California growers assembled chemicals, corporations, and political influence to bring the most perishable products from the most distant state to the great urban markets of North America. But what began as a compromise between a beneficent environment and intensive cultivation ultimately became threatening to the soil and exploitative of the people who worked it. Invoking history, economics, sociology, agriculture, and environmental studies, Stoll traces the often tragic repercussions of fruit farming and shows how central this story is to the development of the industrial countryside in the twentieth century.

Download or read book Alaska Codfish Chronicle written by James Mackovjak and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cod is one of the most widely consumed fish in the world. For many years, the Atlantic cod industry took center stage, but partly thanks to climate change and overfishing, it is more and more likely that the cod on your kitchen table or in your fast food fish fillets came from Alaska’s Pacific Cod Fishery. Alaska Codfish Chronicle is the first comprehensive history of this fishery. It looks at the early decades of the fishery’s history, a period marked by hardship and danger, as well as the dominance of foreign fishermen. And the modern era, beginning in 1976 when the United States claimed an exclusive economic zone around the Alaska coasts, “Americanizing” the fishery and replacing the foreign fleets that had been ravaging the resources in the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea. Today, the Pacific cod fishery is, in terms of poundage, the second largest fishery in Alaska, and considered among the best-managed fisheries in the world. This history is extremely well documented, does not spare details, and is accessible to general readers. It incorporates nearly a hundred photographs and illustrations and is sprinkled with numerous observations from fishing industry journals and reports, even incorporating poems and recipes, making this an especially thorough and unique account of one of Alaska’s most iconic and important industries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial Interests of California: Being a Series of Letters Relating to Our Home Manufactures, Industrial Labor, Agricultural Progress and Material Interests While the American culture annually advanced in amount equal to the calls of the new spindles, neither necessity nor desire existed to call forth steady effort to forward the Indian culture, which has only been called upon, spasmodically, as the American supply has been short. That no raw cotton has been shipped from China. Is owing entirely to absence of demand the course Of trade, so far from calling for raw cottons, has acted as a direct prohibition of its export. When the direct trade with China was Opened to Europeans, the export Of' manufactured cottons was as profitable to the Chinese as some of their other products now are. China then produced all her own supply, and enough for all the demands for export, until the inventions of Arkwright and Whit ney enabled the Europeans to manufacture cottons cheaper than their hand labor would admit. At the same time, the growing demand for teas and other products afforded their agriculturists more profit in their culture, gradually lessening the home supplies of cotton until a large market is afforded to the piece goods of England and the United States, and also for the raw cottons Of Bengal. Can any one doubt that demand would bring back its culture to its former extent, or that in spite Of Chinese adherence to custom and precedent, that it might not be stimulated, as has been the production of teas, sugar, camphor, raw silk, and other articles for which Europeans have instituted a press ing demand? If we mistake not, the export of raw silk was increased in the course Of ten years from to bales per annum, these last shipped from the new port of Shanghao against the demands and rivalry of an Older trade at Canton. The Chinese are wedded to old customs - mbut not against profitable employment of their labor and capital. Steadily demand their raw cotton, and in a limited period the bales will be produced for many a good ship's lading. - Alta.
