Book Synopsis Ancient Agriculture by : Gabriel Alonso de Herrera
Download or read book Ancient Agriculture written by Gabriel Alonso de Herrera and published by Gibbs Smith. This book was released on 2006 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of Agriculture is the first English edition of Obra de Agricultura by Gabriel Alonso de Herrera, an agriculture instruction manual originally written in Granada, Spain, in 1513 and published there in 1539. Herrera, widely considered the Father of Modern Spanish Agriculture, wrote this treatise nearly five centuries ago, thoughtfully recounting traditional farming techniques of the Moors before their expulsion from Spain, the Spanish colonizers in the early 1600s, and the rural Indo-Hispano bioregion spanning northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. Today, farmers, gardeners, and ecological horticulturists are striving to work in harmony with nature, using traditional irrigation methods (involving acequias, sangras, and arroyos) to transform barren high-desert landscapes into fields supporting crop growth. This book speaks to today's farmers, no matter their size or output, in drought-ridden areas with land patterns characterized by natural ditches (acequias) and community water distribution systems (suertes). This type of agriculture exists not only in the American Southwest but from the Philippines to India to the Middle East. With global warming, water usage, and increased populations today, this book is more pertinent now than ever. Practical as well as philosophical, The Art of Agriculture will fascinate anyone interested in organic farming, sustainable agriculture, and permaculture worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know . . . • Ancient Romans invented a machine to harvest grain? • Farmers in ancient China destroyed the pests that harmed crops by bringing in their natural predators? • The ancient Mayans restored nutrients to the soil by planting corn and beans together? People learned to farm more than twelve thousand years ago. The first farmers used simple technology. They carried water to their crops by hand. They made farm tools from wood and animal bones. Over the centuries, ancient farmers devised better technology. Ancient Middle Easterners learned to breed sheep to produce different colors of wool. The ancient Chinese learned how to grow more rice using irrigation techniques. The ancient Greeks built machines for pumping water, grinding grain, and crushing grapes and olives. What kinds of crops did ancient farmers grow? What kind of animals did they raise? And how did people get their food before agriculture? Learn more in Ancient Agricultural Technology.

Book Synopsis The Social History of Agriculture by : Christopher Isett
Download or read book The Social History of Agriculture written by Christopher Isett and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-11-09 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative text provides a compelling narrative world history through the lens of food and farmers. Tracing the history of agriculture from earliest times to the present, Christopher Isett and Stephen Millerargue that people, rather than markets, have been the primary agents of agricultural change. Exploring the actions taken by individuals and groups over time and analyzing their activities in the wider contexts of markets, states, wars, the environment, population increase, and similar factors, the authors emphasize how larger social and political forces inform decisions and lead to different technological outcomes. Both farmers and elites responded in ways that impeded economic development. Farmers, when able to trade with towns, used the revenue to gain more land and security. Elites used commercial opportunities to accumulate military power and slaves. The book explores these tendencies through rich case studies of ancient China; precolonial South America; early-modern France, England, and Japan; New World slavery; colonial Taiwan; socialist Cuba; and many other periods and places. Readers will understand how the promises and problems of contemporary agriculture are not simply technologically derived but are the outcomes of decisions and choices people have made and continue to make.

Book Synopsis Agriculture, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 1 by : Samuel Copland
Download or read book Agriculture, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 1 written by Samuel Copland and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 902 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agriculture, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 1: A Historical Account of Its Principles and Practice, Exemplified in Their Rise, Progress, and Development About the year 1820 the interests of the writer led him to leave the country and reside in the metropolis. Engaged in other pursuits than agriculture, but still nearly connected with it, and holding intercourse with many agricultural friends, he continued to watch with a lover's eye the progress of improvement in that his favourite branch of rural industry. After some years, an engagement with a friend caused him to settle in Ireland, where, in addition to the business which took him thither, he occupied himself in cultivating a few acres of land attached to the house in which he resided. In 1848 he made an engagement with the editor of the Advocate newspaper (at that time the best agricultural and industrial journal in Ireland), as a writer on agricultural and other subjects. This engagement he retained until 1853, when he returned to London, and immediately obtained employment in the same capacity from the editor of the Mark Lame Express, which paper he is still connected with and it has brought under his imme diate consideration the Opinions and practical experience of the most eminent farmers in every part of the United Kingdom, as well as on the Continent. With such preparatory experience, he did not hesitate, when called on by the publishers, to undertake the present Work, of which he thinks it proper now to give a brief account, as it differs in some respects from all previous works of the kind. In reading a great number of these, it has occurred to him that the nature of landed property is seldom or never touched upon, and that where referred to, very slight and inadequate ideas are conveyed respecting it. In Part I. Vol. I., he has therefore given a concise historical account of the origin of property in land, commencing with the patriarchal, which merged into the feudal system, and describing the processes by which the various tenures now existing were established; also the value of land at different periods of history, and some of the most important laws by which it is governed. Part II. Contains, with a short history of the rise and progress of Agriculture in England, a brief sketch of that of other countries, principally adverting to the hindrances existing to its advancement, and the efforts making to counteract those impediments. Part III. Relates to the connection of Agricul ture with physical science, giving a sketch of those sciences immediately applicable to the farm. Part IV. Relates to the domestic animals of the farm, their various species and varieties, and a history of these improvements in the various breeds which have raised their character and value in every part of the world. Part V. Gives a history of the vegetable kingdom, and the various kinds of agricultural produce. Part VI. Contains an account of British husbandry, the different kinds of farms, the implements and machines employed in husbandry, the history of steam cultivation, and all the newly invented machines for lessening the amount of hand labour. Part VII. Relates to different modes of draining and fencing, manures, the dairy, irrigation, soils, seed, &c.
