9781330109335: The Principles of Agricultural Practice

Synopsis

This book by the author is a comprehensive guide to the principles of agriculture. A good starting point for science teachers looking to open up the subject to their students, the book provides a broad knowledge base and encourages a practical, experimental approach. Although the study of agriculture is often viewed as molecular and microscopic, the author encourages readers to pursue a broader line of enquiry, and uses the book to demonstrate agriculture's interdisciplinary nature and its dependence on social and economic factors. The book goes into detail on the processes, products, and practices of agriculture, establishing the subject firmly in relation to other branches of knowledge and situating it within its historical and comparative context. The book's insights and description of the principles underlying agricultural practice should prove valuable to both students and experienced agriculturalists.
