Discusses black stem rust of wheat in antiquity, and how its epidemics were perceived by the ancients. This book reconstructs an epidemic of yellow stripe rust, 1846, on rye, a staple food in Continental Europe. It also describes the epidemics of potato late blight in Continental Europe, 1844-46, that caused the Continental Famine.
