Delightful... The Hidden Horticulturists pulsates with the extraordinary energy and excitement of the time.Daily MailChosen as one of the Sunday Telegraphs Top Ten Gardening Books of the Year_____________________ The untold story of the remarkable young men who played a central role in the history of British horticulture and helped to shape the way we garden today.In 2012, whilst working at the Royal Horticultural Societys library, Fiona Davison unearthed a book of handwritten notes that dated back to 1822. The notes, each carefully set out in neat copperplate writing, had been written by young gardeners in support of their application to be received into the Societys Garden.Amongst them was an entry from the young Joseph Paxton, who would go on to become one of Britains best-known gardeners and architects. But he was far from alone in shaping the way we garden today and now, for the first time, the stories of the young, working-class men who also played a central role in the history of British horticulture can be told.Using their notes, Fiona Davison traces the stories of a selection of these forgotten gardeners whose lives would take divergent paths to create a unique history of gardening. The trail took her from Chiswick to Bolivia and uncovered tales of fraud, scandal and madness - and, of course, a large number of fabulous plants and gardens. This is a celebration of the unsung heroes of horticulture whose achievements reflect a golden moment in British gardening, and continue to influence how we garden today.

This comprehensive study, with a foreword by Lord Killanin, looks at Irish forestry from the migration of the first wood species some 10,000 years ago to the present day. Part One, The Historical Background, examines the primeval forest and early settlers, woodlands, land title and tenure under the Celts, codified with Brehon law; Norman forest law imposed in the early medieval period; the Tudor conquest and plantations; and the development of estate and scientific forestry during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It also considers the political dimension of Irish forestry, and socio-economic factors such as land hunger and agrarian reform. Part Two, Forestry in Modern Ireland, chronicles the twentieth century, beginning with the Irish Forestry Committee of 1907. In the struggle for independence, replenishing the countrys forestry stock was placed high on the list of national objectives. State afforestation schemes laid foundations gradually built upon during the mid-century as the techniques and role of forestry were debated, policies defined and planting programmes instituted. With Coillte established in 1989 and EC-aided expansion plans for the 1990s, private and state interests converge in a major national enterprise. The husbanding of Irelands natural resources and its documentation are now part of a broader environmental awareness. Forests are of inestimable importance. They provide and protect. They sustain the biosphere, regulate climate, nurture diversity, serve recreation, and yield wood: a commodity which contributes more than any other to society, as fuel, as industrial timber and in the form of paper the key medium of civilization. A History of Irish Forestry will be of interest to all concerned with Irelands past, and future.

Nearly three decades after the dawn of democracy, South Africa has remained a country of two agricultures. On the one hand we have a subsistence, primarily non-commercial, black farming segment. On the other hand, however, we have a predominantly commercial and white farming sector that is well-resourced and has access to domestic and international trade networks.These disparities can be traced back to South Africas painful history where, for decades, black farmers were on the margins of government support and also experienced land dispossession and livestock plunder.A Country of Two Agricultures focuses less on history and more on the present and the future, explaining why these disparities have persisted in the democratic era, and what it will take to overcome them. It aims to contribute to a better understanding of the variety of agricultural forces, taking into account both questions of domestic political economy and external factors, as well as to bring to light new risks and opportunities.Wandile Sihlobo offers insights into the role of agriculture in the South African economy from an agricultural economy perspective, and provides political economy insights that are rooted in the experiences of farming communities on the ground and right through the value chain.Beyond insights on the realities this book offers the government, the private sector, and anyone interested in the betterment of the South African economy, tools to grapple with this duality, and proposes a framework for bolstering the black farming segment for growth and competitiveness and ultimately food security.Wandile Sihlobo is the Chief Economist of the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz) and the author of Finding Common Ground: Land, Equity and Agriculture.

In his Accelerated Reclamation of Alkaline Argillaceous Soils of Azerbaijan, Professor Mukhtar Abduyev describes the tackling of a long-established problem which had enormous implications for Azerbaijans security of food supply. The task was to find more efficient methods of reclaiming the saline soils that covered more than 60% of the republics lowlands - some 2.5 million hectares were resistant to improvement. Existing methods of reclamation involved vast amounts of water for leaching and the construction of extensive drainage systems; these methods could take up to 10 years to become effective. Prof. Abduyev typically adopted a practical scientific approach, researching various methods of salt removal and their effect on soils and the crops to be grown in them. He was also a highly respected teacher and was directly involved in field investigations, at the same time providing leadership and valuable hands-on experience for graduate students and research workers. Prof. Abduyevs work was a major contribution to streamlining the vital work to bring more Azerbaijani land into effective crop and food production.

Professor Mukhtar Abduyevs pioneering work was the result of ten years of study, field research and laboratory experimentation on salinized diluvial soils in the foothill plains and steppe of Azerbaijan. At a time of increased demand for agricultural land this work was a most timely contribution to bringing the countrys foothill plains, a major soil reserve, into play. Important as the work was for Prof. Abduyevs native land, however, it had even wider implications. Because there are other forms of salinization in Azerbaijan, the work herein facilitated comparative analysis of their distinctive characteristics - common to the arid regions of many other countries. In Diluvial Soils and their Amelioration, as in his other works, Prof. Abduyev moves from rigorous scientific analysis of the problem and its origins to the development of techniques to return salinized land to productive efficiency; a true demonstration of science in practical action. In 1970, the original Russian edition of the work was nominated by the Academy of Sciences of the Azerbaijan SSR for the V.V. Dokuchayev Award for distinguished contributions to soil science.

En pleno siglo XXI, cuando está en proceso de modificarse la política agraria colombiana, es sumamente pertinente este libro, cuyo objetivo es explicar, a lo largo de varios capítulos y desde diferentes perspectivas, la importancia de la pequeña agricultura familiar para que Colombia logre un buen resultado economico y social, al disminuir la pobreza, la desigualdad y la inseguridad de ingresos y de alimentos. Esto porque esta suma de textos ofrece evidencia sobre el potencial economico y social de esa actividad y sobre las politicas mas aptas para promoverla, de acuerdo con las circunstancias, entre ellas las de posconflicto; porque combina la teoria economica pertinente con la evidencia empirica historica yactual, y con las experiencias colombianas y de paises comparables; porque ofrece hipotesis sobre los factores contribuyentes a las deficiencias historicas de la politica agraria en Colombia, con base en sus propios intentos de reforma agraria y los de otros paises latinos; porque destaca los obstaculos politicos y tecnicos frente al diseño de politicas exitosas en esta area, y, finalmente, porque considera opciones como el impuesto presuntivo y el apoyo a las exportaciones de los productos de la pequeña agricultura.

Actualmente cuentan nuestros agricultores con uno de los sistemas de seguros agrarios más moderno y eficaz de los que existen en los países más desarrollados, modelo y ejemplo para la instauración de sistemas similares en otros paises. Pero aunque las instituciones implicadas en su gestion y mantenimiento realizan labores tecnicas encomiables, siguen detectandose carencias. Este trabajo, si en algun apartado resultara critico, no lo hace con la pretension de mostrar una critica baldia, sino con el afan de servir de acicate para su mejora, siendo indispensable para la misma contar tanto con los agricultores, como con los tomadores, los tecnicos tasadores, las empresas aseguradoras y las diferentes Administraciones Publicas. De ahi que se contemple la necesidad de incluir nuevas perspectivas de abordar su estudio, como es la de las Ciencias Sociales.
