But in 1900 the discovery of phosphate, an absolute requirement for agriculture, catapulted Nauru into the world market.

Industrial blight could be contained, he says, because of Britain's capacity to import resources from...

ISBN: 9780521642019 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The need to adopt a novel approach arose because the existing practice of agricultural extension did not meet the needs of the farming community there, and the funding bodies were dissatisfied with the...
