Des années 1950 aux années 1980, le remembrement a profondément transformé les paysages agricoles français en regroupant et en agrandissant les parcelles dans une logique de rentabilité. Mais cette politique s'est souvent opérée au détriment des "petits" paysans.

Great read.
Yes, #backwardsbooks! Big bound books were stored like this, because of many reasons, but the main reason was to avoid damage of the spine. Many books in #libraries and #bookshops were shelved fore-edge outwards way into the eighteenth century.
