520    Discusses the Gorta Mor in 1840s Ireland, the famine in 
       British-controlled Bengal in 1943, and the string of 
       famines in Ethiopia in the late 20th century, and explores
       the concept that while famine can be caused by crop 
       failures and weather conditions, famines are worsened by 
       man-made choices such as politics and social and religious
       ideology.
