Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural Organisation: Its Rise, Principles and Practice Abroad and at Home The extent to which agricultural organisation, in some or other of its manifold phases, has been adopted in recent years in almost every civilised country on the face of the globe constitutes one of the most remarkable of economical developments, and one that has, besides, had considerable bearing on general social conditions. Of the greatest and most direct interest to those actually engaged in agriculture, the subject is also one that must appeal strongly to all who are in any way interested in the progress of nations and the story of how so remarkable a movement was brought about, and of the results to which it has already led, Should appeal no less to the average citizen than to the working farmer. It should, further, lead to the conviction that, when so [many countries throughout the world which look to the United Kingdom as the best market for their surplus produce are both increasing the volume thereof and strengthening their economic position, it is' a matter of special importance that British producers Should enquire what are the Special advantages which (apart from climatic or other conditions not capable of reproduction here) their foreign competitors have secured for themselves from effective organisation, and to what extent the example set by the foreigner should be followed by the British farmer, alike in the defence and for the promotion of his own interests.

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.

Book excerpt: “In the heart of this world, the Lord of life, who loves us so much, is always present.

Praise be to him!” – Pope Francis, Laudato Si’ In his second encyclical, Laudato Si’: On the Care of Our Common Home, Pope Francis draws all Christians into a dialogue with every person on the planet about our common home. We as human beings are united by the concern for our planet, and every living thing that dwells on it, especially the poorest and most vulnerable. Pope Francis’ letter joins the body of the Church’s social and moral teaching, draws on the best scientific research, providing the foundation for “the ethical and spiritual itinerary that follows.” Laudato Si’ outlines: The current state of our “common home” The Gospel message as seen through creation The human causes of the ecological crisis Ecology and the common good Pope Francis’ call to action for each of us Our Sunday Visitor has included discussion questions, making it perfect for individual or group study, leading all Catholics and Christians into a deeper understanding of the importance of this teaching.
Download or read book Enduring Success written by Christian Stadler and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-05 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enduring Success addresses a key question in business today: How can companies succeed over time? To learn the source of enduring greatness, author Christian Stadler directed a team of eight researchers in a six-year study of some of Europe's oldest and most stellar companies, targeting nine that have survived for more than 100 years and have significantly outperformed the market over the past fifty years. Readers may wonder, "Why European companies?" Yet, Europe is the ideal place to seek the key to long-term success; half of the Fortune Global 500 companies that are 100 years old or older can be found in Europe, as can 72 of the 100 oldest family businesses in the world. Fifteen years after Collins and Porras' Built to Last, this new book incorporates fresh insights from management science and provides the first non-US perspective on long-range success. Through Stadler's study, a counterintuitive story emerges: the greatest companies adapt to a constantly changing environment by being intelligently conservative. Enduring Success provides a coherent framework, grounded in five principles and practical concepts, for business leaders who are prepared to learn from the history of some of the world's greatest institutions.
