Beskrivelse af Peru In The Guano Age
Peru In The Guano Age is a non-fiction book written by Alexander James Duffield in 1877. The book provides a short account of Duffield's visit to Peru during the ""Guano Age"" - a period in the mid-19th century when Peru's economy was heavily reliant on the export of guano, a valuable fertilizer made from bird excrement found on the country's coastal islands.The book describes Duffield's travels through Peru, including his visits to various guano deposits along the coast. He provides detailed descriptions of the guano industry, including the methods used to extract, process, and transport the fertilizer. Duffield also discusses the impact of the guano trade on Peru's economy and society, as well as the environmental consequences of overexploiting the country's guano resources.Overall, Peru In The Guano Age offers a fascinating glimpse into a unique period in Peru's history, when the country's fortunes were tied to the humble bird droppings found on its shores.With Some Reflections On The Money They Have Produced And The Uses To Which It Has Been Applied.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
