Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the precepts of agriculture in the mid-19th century, as espoused by the famed French scientist Jean-Baptiste Boussingault. The author deconstructs Boussingault's methods and theories, providing a detailed analysis of his experimental framework. While examining the evolution of Boussingault's ideas, the book analyzes the context around his influential work, and particularly focuses on the incomplete understanding of chemical reactions in the soil prevalent during that period. The author demonstrates that Boussingault was able to overturn many of the established beliefs and practices of agriculture through his experiments and advocacy of scientific methods in farming. The book concludes by reasserting Boussingault's seminal contributions to modern agricultural science and his lasting impact on the field.
