This book will provide a thematic overview of one of European history’s most devastating famines, the Great Finnish Famine of the 1860s. In 1868, the nadir of several years of worsening economic conditions, 137,000 people (approximately 8% of the Finnish population) perished as the result of hunger and disease. The attitudes and policies enacted by Finland’s devolved administration tended to follow European norms, and therefore were often similar to the “colonial” practices seen in other famines at the time. What is distinctive about this catastrophe in a mid-nineteenth-century context, is that despite Finland being a part of the Russian Empire, it was largely responsible for its own governance, and indeed was developing its economic, political and cultural autonomy at the time of the famine. Finland’s Great Famine 1856-68 examines key themes such as the use of emergency foods, domestic and overseas charity, vagrancy and crime, emergency relief works, and emigration.

Dr. David Newby is an Associate Professor in Pharmacy in the School of Biomedical Science and Pharmacy at Newcastle. He was a foundation academic in Australia’s first Master of Pharmacy Program at the University of Newcastle and teaches pharmacotherapy courses into the current Bachelor of Pharmacy program. He has been awarded local and national teaching awards in evidence-based practice and is a co-author of a patient-centered pharmacology text and Australia’s first Community Pharmacy textbook. He has worked with the World Health Organization for over twenty years and was the Director of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Pharmacoeconomics and Rational Pharmacotherapy.
