Summary:[...]these regions "became key poles of the new industrial world-division of labor" (7). In part 2 of the book, the authors skillfully carry each staple from biota to market, revealing how producers systematically exploited human, environmental, and technological resources to maximize output and profit. The authors write that "each of the diverse genres of landscape representation that is used in this study documents the production, organization, management, and representation of the material and social relations of plantation space-and played a role in those activities" (147).
