Amazonian Dark Earths: Wim Sombroek's Vision
ISBN: 9781402090301 / Angielski / Twarda / 502 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Amazonian soils are almost universally thought of as extremely forbidding. However, it is now clear that complex societies with large, sedentary populations were present for over a millennium before European contact. Associated with these are tracts of anomalously fertile, dark soils termed terra preta or dark earths. These soils are presently an important agricultural resource within Amazonia and provide a model for developing long-term future sustainability of food production in tropical environments. The late Dutch soil scientist Wim Sombroek (1934-2003) was instrumental in... Amazonian soils are almost universally thought of as extremely forbidding.

Notes from the Ground : Science, Soil, and Society in the American Countryside
ISBN: 9780300139235 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Notes from the Ground" examines the cultural conditions that brought agriculture and science together in nineteenth-century America. Integrating the history of science, environmental history, and science studies, the book shows how and why agrarian Americans--yeoman farmers, gentleman planters, politicians, and policy makers alike--accepted, resisted, and shaped scientific ways of knowing the land. By detailing the changing perceptions of soil treatment, Benjamin Cohen shows that the credibility of new soil practices grew not from the arrival of professional chemists, but out of an existing...
