520    <B>How did Europeans achieve global dominance and continue
       to satisfy their ever-growing needs? How do we explain the
       effects this has on the rest of the world? </b> In his 
       magnum opus, published here in English for the first time 
       as an open access book, world-renowned critical 
       development scholar Benoit Daviron blends Braudelian 
       history and a food systems approach to show how biomass--
       as the metabolism of societies and as a source of matter 
       and energy--explains key historical phases of Western 
       capitalist hegemony and the transitions between them. By 
       examining various uses of biomass, technical production 
       and extraction methods, forms of labour mobilization, and 
       exchange systems, Daviron provides startling new insights 
       into capitalist development from the 16th century to the 
       present. This book is essential reading for students and 
       scholars of critical approaches to global development, and
       for anyone interested in how capitalist domination came to
       be and how the bio-meatabolic imbalances it created might 
       be redressed. <i>The ebook editions of this book are
