Its contents come from the legions of academic literature and research on the subject produced over the last several hundred years. Covered within is a discussion drawn from many areas of study and research on the subject. From analyses of the varied geography that encompasses the Asian continent to significant time periods spanning centuries, the book was made in an effort to preserve the work of previous generations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Observation and consideration, combined with an examination of the modes of culture and manufacture in other parts of the world, enabled him to perceive, that many of the causes of failure were purely of a Physical nature, some, dependent on the Soil, a few, on the Climate, and others, on the processes of A griculture. The defects seeming as often to be those of redundancy as of deficiency of growth, it appeared feasible so to modify the operations of A griculture, as to subject the plants under cultivation to the influence (in different degrees) of the several physical agents which controul vegetation, such as Light, Heat, A ir, and Moisture, and thus produce different and the desired results. Being anxious to contribute to the improvement of the Agriculture of I ndia, and hoping that some of his suggestions would have that tendency, the Author might have commenced his work by giving, in the first instance, a general view of the influence of Physical A gents on the functions of Vegetation, more especially in connection with the soil and climate of I ndia. This, from the general neglect of the Natural Sciences in English education, appeared to him the most important, as few writers, in their experiments or their descriptions, refer to the true causes of the results which are obtained.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
