Subtle Agroecologies Farming With the Hidden Half of Nature

Subtle Agroecologies Farming With the Hidden Half of Nature

This book is about the invisible or subtle nature of food and farming and also about the nature of existence. Everything that we know (and do not know) about the physical world has a subtle counterpart which has been scarcely considered in modernist farming practice and research. If you think this book isn’t for you if it appears more important to attend to the pressing physical challenges the world is facing before having the luxury of turning to such subtleties then think again. For it could be precisely this worldview – the one prioritises the physical-material dimension of reality - that helped get us into this situation in the first place. Perhaps we need a different worldview to get us out? This book makes a foundational contribution to the discipline of Subtle Agroecologies a nexus of indigenous epistemologies multidisciplinary advances in wave-based and ethereal studies and the science of sustainable agriculture. Not a farming system in itself Subtle Agroecologies superimposes a non-material dimension upon existing materially-based agroecological farming systems. Bringing together 43 authors from 12 countries and five continents from the natural and social sciences as well as the arts and humanities this multi-contributed book introduces the discipline explaining its relevance and potential contribution to the field of Agroecology. Research into Subtle Agroecologies may be described as the systematic study of the nature of the invisible world as it relates to the practice of agriculture and to do this through adapting and innovating with research methods in particular with those of a more embodied nature with the overall purpose of bringing and maintaining balance and harmony. Such research is an open-minded inquiry its grounding being the lived experiences of humans working on and with the land over several thousand years to the present. By reclaiming and reinterpreting the perennial relationship between humans and nature the implications would revolutionise agriculture heralding a new wave of more sustainable farming techniques changing our whole relationship with nature to one of real collaboration rather than control and ultimately transforming ourselves. | Subtle Agroecologies Farming With the Hidden Half of Nature

Routledge Revivals: Speaking Mathematically (1987) Communication in Mathematics Clasrooms

Routledge Revivals: Speaking Mathematically (1987) Communication in Mathematics Clasrooms

First published in 1987 this book examines mathematics school teaching from the perspective that it is a language — arguing that this can illuminate many events that occur in classes and highlight issues that may not have previously seemed important. The central concern is with the processes of communication as they are shaped by school conventions and the fact that it is mathematics being discussed. Speaking listening writing and reading are examined and analysed with the first half focusing on verbal interactions and the second half examining aspects of pupil written mathematics. Also explored is the nature of the mathematical writing system itself and how pupils gain access to it. | Routledge Revivals: Speaking Mathematically (1987) Communication in Mathematics Clasrooms

Constrained Optimization In The Calculus Of Variations and Optimal Control Theory

Constrained Optimization In The Calculus Of Variations and Optimal Control Theory

The major purpose of this book is to present the theoretical ideas and the analytical and numerical methods to enable the reader to understand and efficiently solve these important optimizational problems. The first half of this book should serve as the major component of a classical one or two semester course in the calculus of variations and optimal control theory. The second half of the book will describe the current research of the authors which is directed to solving these problems numerically. In particular we present new reformulations of constrained problems which leads to unconstrained problems in the calculus of variations and new general accurate and efficient numerical methods to solve the reformulated problems. We believe that these new methods will allow the reader to solve important problems. | Constrained Optimization In The Calculus Of Variations and Optimal Control Theory

Evolutionary Naturalism in Victorian Britain The 'Darwinians' and their Critics

Evolutionary Naturalism in Victorian Britain The 'Darwinians' and their Critics

Scholars have tended to portray T. H. Huxley John Tyndall and their allies as the dominant cultural authority in the second half of the 19th century. Defenders of Darwin and his theory of evolution these men of science are often seen as a potent force for the secularization of British intellectual and social life. In this collection of essays Bernard Lightman argues that historians have exaggerated the power of scientific naturalism to undermine the role of religion in middle and late-Victorian Britain. The essays deal with the evolutionary naturalists especially the biologist Thomas Henry Huxley the physicist John Tyndall and the philosopher of evolution Herbert Spencer. But they look also at those who criticized this influential group of elite intellectuals including aristocratic spokesman A. J Balfour the novelist Samuel Butler and the popularizer of science Frank Buckland. Focusing on the theme of the limitations of the cultural power of evolutionary naturalism the volume points to the enduring strength of religion in Britain in the latter half of the 19th century. | Evolutionary Naturalism in Victorian Britain The 'Darwinians' and their Critics

Research and Relevant Knowledge American Research Universities Since World War II

Research and Relevant Knowledge American Research Universities Since World War II

The rise of American research universities to international preeminence constitutes one of the most important episodes in the history of higher education. Research and Relevant Knowledge follows Geiger's earlier volume on American research universities from 1900 to 1940. This second work is the first study to trace this momentous development in the post-World War II period. It describes how the federal government first relied on university scientists during the war and how the resulting relationship set the pattern for the postwar mushrooming of academic research. The first half of the book analyzes the development of the postwar system of academic research exploring the contributions of foundations defense agencies and universities. The second half depicts the rise of the golden age of academic research in the years after Sputnik (1957) and its eventual dissolution at the end of the 1960s graduate education. When the federal patron soon reduced its largesse university students took the lead in challenging the putative hegemony of academic research. The loss of consensus quickly brought the malaise of the 1970s-stagnation frustration and equivocation about the research role. The final chapter appraises the renaissance of the 1980s based largely on a rapprochement with the private sector and ends by evaluating the embattled status of research universities at the beginning of the 1990s. Research and Relevant Knowledge provides the first authoritative analytical account of American research universities during their most fateful half-century. It will be of critical importance to all those concerned with the future of higher education in the United States. | Research and Relevant Knowledge American Research Universities Since World War II
