| Zusammenfassung: | "Introduction Energy, Environment, and History "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... " Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities Picture Mexico in 1850. The majority of Mexicans lived in villages, practiced some form of agriculture and animal husbandry: slash and burn in the tropical lowlands; rain-fed agriculture in the temperate central highlands and the Bajío;1 and a mix of ranching and limited irrigation in the arid north. Humans and animals powered every stage of food production. Urban centers were small, few, and far between. Of the country's seven and a half million people, no more than one in twenty lived in a city. Trade and travel depended on human and animal muscle power. Manufacturing took place in small urban workshops or river-powered factories. Like other agrarian societies, population and economic growth were slow and subject to periodic declines. Despite enormous disparities between regions, classes, genders, and races, all mid-nineteenth-century Mexicans lived in a world of low energy consumption where life's necessities came from the land. But pre-industrial Mexico was not a paradise of plenty, nor did its people live in harmony with their surroundings. Deforestation, pollution, and environmental degradation were common but largely limited to specific areas like mining regions"-- |
