This absorbing book challenges this fundamental notion by showing how objects themselves, specifically scientific instruments, can express knowledge. As he considers numerous intriguing examples, Davis Baird gives us the tools to "read" the material products of science and technology and to understand their place in culture. Making a provocative and original challenge to our conception of knowledge itself, Thing Knowledge demands that we take a new look at theories of science and technology, knowledge, progress, and change. Baird considers a wide range of instruments, including Faraday's first electric motor, eighteenth-century mechanical models of the solar system, the cyclotron, various instruments developed by analytical chemists between 1930 and 1960, spectrometers, and more. 606 $aScientific apparatus and instruments 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aScience$xTechnological innovations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aScientific apparatus and instruments. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aScience$xTechnological innovations. 676 $a502/.8/4 686 $aTB 2280$2rvk 700 $aBaird$b Davis$061630 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449981103321 996 $aThing knowledge$92459534 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04602nam 22005533 450 001 9910558095403321 005 20240323060214.0 035 $a(CKB)5860000000038635 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/80741 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31218807 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31218807 035 $a(EXLCZ)995860000000038635 100 $a20240323d2022 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aTheatre and Its Other $eAbhinavagupta on Dance and Dramatic Acting 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aBoston :$cBRILL,$d2022. 210 4$dİ2022. 215 $a1 electronic resource (428 p.) 225 0 $aGonda indological studies,$x1382-3442 ;$v23 311 $a90-04-46705-X 311 $a90-04-44981-7 327 $aIntro -- ?Contents -- ?Preface -- ?Introduction -- ?Chapter 1.

Unsuitable characteristics are considered to be soil problems, soil constraints or soil limitations. Only twelve percent of global land is right for agricultural production without much limitation. Some soils have severe limitations for crop production. These soils are so called ?problem soils?. Many of them do not have enough fertility to be productive; some are arid and saline; some are very sandy and dry; and some are wet and waterlogged for most of the growing season. The global demand for food, wood, fuel, fiber, medicine and other plant products for the 7.2 billion current world population has created such an immense pressure on global soil resources that even the most fertile soils are losing their productive capacity. We are being compelled to bring more and more unsuitable or marginally suitable soils under cultivation. Unless innovative and integrated soil, crop and environmental management practices are adopted for their improvement and sustainable use, further degradation is inevitable. This book, Management of Soil Problems, identifies the problems and discusses management options in a smooth and reader-friendly style. It will be useful for students and professionals of soil science, agriculture, forestry, geography and environmental sciences. . 606 $aSoil science 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aEcology 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aSoil conservation. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aEcology. 676 $a631.4 700 $aOsman$b Khan Towhid$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0748563 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299391003321 996 $aManagement of Soil Problems$92538401 997 $aUNINA
