Integrating the history of science, environmental history, and science studies, the book shows how and why agrarian Americans-yeoman farmers, gentleman planters, politicians, and policy makers alike-accepted, resisted, and shaped scientific ways of knowing the land. By detailing the changing perceptions of soil treatment, Benjamin Cohen shows that the credibility of new soil practices grew not from the arrival of professional chemists, but out of an existing ideology of work, knowledge, and citizenship. 410 0$aYale agrarian studies. 606 $aSoil science$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSoils$xEnvironmental aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAgriculture$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAgriculture$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aSoil science$xHistory 615 0$aSoils$xEnvironmental aspects$xHistory 615 0$aAgriculture$xHistory 615 0$aAgriculture$xSocial aspects$xHistory 676 $a631.497309034 686 $aSCI000000$2bisacsh 700 $aCohen$b Benjamin R$0237093 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910975020603321 996 $aNotes from the ground$94379611 997 $aUNINA
