Synopsis

Delve into the fascinating economic history of 19th-century Peru with Alexander James Duffield's "Peru in the Guano Age." This meticulously republished account explores the transformative impact of guano - a potent natural fertilizer - on the Peruvian economy and society.

Duffield's work provides a concise yet insightful look at the guano deposits themselves, the wealth they generated, and the ways in which that wealth was utilized (or, perhaps, mismanaged). Explore the intersection of environmental conservation and resource extraction as you journey through Peru's guano boom. This book offers a unique perspective on a pivotal era in Latin American history, examining the social, economic, and environmental consequences of a nation's dependence on a single, valuable natural resource. A vital resource for anyone interested in economic history, South American history, or the history of natural resource exploitation.
