Agronomy is defined as the science of soil management and the production of field crops. This principle is evident in Dr. Fred Below and Dr. Laura Gentry's presentation of the Seven Wonders of Corn Yield. They ranked seven factors in terms of their potential influence on corn yield, with the assumption that the fundamentals of drainage, fertility and weed control are managed appropriately. When…

From the current vantage point of the transformation of books and libraries, B. Venkat Mani presents a historical account of world literature. By locating translation, publication, and circulation along routes of “bibliomigrancy,” Mani narrates how world literature is coded and recoded as literary works find new homes on faraway bookshelves. Mani argues that the proliferation of world liter…

Which is a good thing, because Norway can be confusing at first - and Norwegians are a very odd people - they are walking paradoxes! Norwegians consume more coffee per capita than any other country on the planet, and read more papers than any other people in the world. So on the one hand we’re a nation of wide-awake, extremely well informed people. On the other hand, some Norwegians enjoy liv…

As we prepare for an annual vacation or a weekend trip we take for granted how easy present-day travel is. We do not realize the conditions necessary for present-day tourism to flourish. Consider what we require to travel. First, we must have the free time to engage in leisure pursuits. Second, we must have the money to go somewhere. Where we go is affected by the means of transportation. A com…

As social media is increasingly becoming a standard feature of sociological practice, this timely book rethinks the role of these mediums in public sociology and what they can contribute to the discipline in the post-COVID world. It reconsiders the history and current conceptualizations of what sociology is, and analyzes what kinds of social life emerge in and through the interactions between …
This book argues that the frontier, usually associated with the era of colonial conquest, has great, continuing and under explored relevance to the Caribbean region. Identifying the frontier as a moral, ideational and physical boundary between what is imagined as civilisation and wilderness, the book seeks to extend frontier analysis by focusing on the Eastern Caribbean multi-island state of St…

Agriculture is underperforming in many developing countries for a number of reasons. Among these is the fact that women lack the resources and opportunities they need to make the most productive use of their time. Women are farmers, workers and entrepreneurs, but almost everywhere they face more severe constraints than men in accessing productive resources, markets and services. This “gender …

All flowering plants generally have four physical features in common: roots, a stem, leaves and flowers. The roots anchor the plant to the ground and collect water and minerals from the soil. The stem, which is the central part of the plant, carries the water and minerals around it and supports the leaves and flowers. The leaves absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide which the plant uses to make fo…

The main objective of research in soil science is the understanding of the nature, properties, dynamics and functions of the soil as part of landscapes and ecosystems. A basic requirement for attaining that objective is the availability of reliable information on soil morphology and other characteristics obtained through examination and description of the soil in the field. It is important that…
In cultivating the land, we live from and with soil fertility. An ecologically vital soil is continuously restoring its productivity. If we neglect its needs, it suffers as a result. The soil loses vitality, and becomes more sensitive to weather and erosion; harvests decline. In organic farming, damage cannot be offset by purely technical means. This is why an exhausted or degraded soil require…
Soils vary signifi cantly in their properties. They may be deep in some places, shallow in others, black or gray in colour, sandy or clayey in texture. Although the soil mantle covering Manitoba is far from uniform, all soils have some common factors. For example, all soil is a mixture of organic and mineral material plus water and air. While the major components remain the same, the proportion…
Indonesia has recently achieved a key milestone: the percentage of population living in urban areas has now passed 50 per cent. As this percentage is expected to keep increasing, we can safely conclude that never again will the majority of Indonesia’s population live in rural areas. Instead, the majority will be living in a range of urban settlements, such as small towns, larger towns, cities…

It responds to the recent calls for police reform, in the wake of the perceived illegitimacy of police actions and the protection that the code of silence seems to provide to the police officers who violate the official rules. Usi…
This book raises three interlinked questions: first, how to do a social history of time; second, what are the ways in which it can be done without succumbing to the usual, and at times inevitable, pull of some of the useful binaries in which most of the historical accounts of time have been written; and third, how, as a result of overcoming some of these binaries, do we go beyond simply sta…
In broad terms, vectors are things you can add and linear functions are functions of vectors that respect vector addition. The goal of this text is to teach you to organize information about vector spaces in a way that makes problems involving linear functions of many variables easy. (Or at least tractable.) To get a feel for the general idea of organizing information, of vectors, and of linea…
Earth’s most incredible feature is the presence of life. The probability of life existing is so small that it is remarkable to exist at all, yet we take it for granted every day. We are surrounded by life everywhere we turn. Plants grow in our gardens, paddocks and forests; birds sit on our power lines; spiders inhabit the corners of our homes; ants find their way into our kitchens; bacteria …
Research shows that the closer we get to nature, the happier we are, the more worthwhile life seems, and the more we are willing to take action to help our wildlife and the environment. In the context of the problems our climate and wildlife are facing, closer relationships with nature are more necessary than ever before. A population that has a close relationship with nature and recognises the…

Sheep originated in the mountains of central Asia and were among the first animals to be domesticated 10,000 years ago. These wild sheep did not look much like domesticated sheep. They had coarse hair instead of wool and were much bigger than most domestic sheep today. Gradually, the domestic sheep evolved from their wild ancestors. After many generations, theircoarse hair was replaced by soft …

The disc stars rotate around the centre of the galaxy on nearly circular orbits, with rotation speed vc ? 220 km s?1 almost independent of radius r (unlike themotion of planets in the …
We, in the early 21st century, know that the Sun is a star, composed mostly of hydrogen, at the center of the Solar System, and with planets orbiting around it. But ancient people didn’t have access to the same tools we have today. Their understanding about the Sun was far more concerned with the day-to-day needs of living. As such, their notions have influenced the way we (still) think of t…
Concerns regarding brain injury in sport have escalated into what is often termed a “concussion crisis,” fueled by high-profile lawsuits and deaths.

Food is fuel for one of the most sophisticated machines in the world – your body! Properly fueling your body means eating plenty of fresh fruits/vegetables, whole grains, beans, and moderate amounts of lean protein and healthy fats. Many soldiers are busy and rely on food that comes from a restaurant (fast-food, take-out, or sit-down). You may also be eating more convenience foods or pre-pack…
Contemporary art, entertainment, and architecture cultures offer a growing amount of digitally mediated spatial experiences, situated either in the metaverse (e.g. VR) or location-based in physical realms (e.g. AR), increasingly powered by generative systems (e.g. AI). Are such spatially “immersive experiences” a new phenomenon and dependent on digital innovation? The Art of Spatial Illusio…
In the popular imagination, zombies are scary, decomposing corpses hunting down the living. But since the 1930s, there have also been other zombies shambling across the panels of comic books—zombies that aren’t quite what most people think zombies should be. There have been zombie slaves, zombie henchmen, talking zombies, beautiful zombies, and even zombie heroes. Using archival research in…
