DOWNLOAD EBOOKSome consider American agriculture as one of the wonders of the modern world. In this book Walter Ebeling tells its story. Professor Ebeling grew up on a farm, loves the soil, and had the good fortune to have been closely associated with the land in all its aspects. Beginning with a brief history of why and how preagricultural peoples changed from hunters and gatherers and eventually became tillers of the soil, Professor Ebeling then deals with the seven geographic regions of the United States--from the East to California--giving the history and present status of agriculture for each reason. Although the main thrust of The Fruited Plain is the drama, romance, and excitement of the American agricultural experience, Professor Ebeling is concerned with the environmental, ecological, and sociological aspects of agriculture and its supporting industries. He discusses environmental problems in America that began when the Indians' "shifting" agriculture (allowing for long periods of soil restoration) was replaced by the white man's permanent agriculture. He examines the modern technology for a successful and environmentally viable permanent agriculture and how it can be implemente on a much larger scale. The questions asked--and answered--are what are the principal environmental problems? What is being, and/or can be done about soil erosion? Scarcity of water? Urban encroachment on agricultural lands? What directions can be taken by benevolent technology? Does technology have remedies for land that is susceptible to water erosion and loss of topsoil? Likewise, pollution and environmental degradation resulting from excessive use of pesticides? Our society much recognize the importance of protecting our agricultural resources, and Professor Ebeling, in this monumental book, gives many suggestions on how to accomplish the sustained utilization of America's great resource--the farmlands. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1979.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn December 1980, Donald Steele departed from Anabel Island, leaving behind his pregnant wife and a deferred legacy. A single planted seed was the only sign he had been there at all. In September 1981, he returned for the birth of his twin sons, Luke and Anthony. The seed he had planted had now grown, branching in two directions. In September 1986, he departed again, this time leaving far more than one seed planted in the ground. In the interceding years, Anabel Island experienced a power struggle borne of a change in family dynamics. It existed under the shadow of a mysterious man, Donald's proxy and collaborator. And through it all, Luke and Anthony came of age in an idyll all their own. Above the Fruited Plain is the first volume of a four-part series that tracks the lives of Luke and Anthony Steele from conception to age 18. This novel contains the prologue and first two books of the saga.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWall Street and the Fruited Plain delves deep into the parody known today as the "Gilded Age". The last decades of the 19th century saw both industrial and agricultural explosions in the United States. However, the base metal beneath this glittering façade was comprised of sweat-soaked, underpaid laborers, many of whom had just splashed ashore from Europe's seething cauldrons. In the early years of the period, the nation underwent the wrenching challenge of Reconstruction, nominally resolved in the compromise of 1877. In the Gilded Age, America expanded both internally and externally. The frontier moved from Kansas to California. Trappers, miners, cattlemen, and--finally-homesteaders, with the help of a burgeoning railroad network, fanned out across the central plains and the western plateaus. Wall Street dominated not only the economic and social life of the country, but the politics as well. A series of lackluster presidents between Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt facilitated this dominion and by the end of Roosevelt's first Administration, America had become an adolescent headliner on the world stage.

An eyewitness to glory, terror and tragedy, he has braved discrimination and bitter cold snow storms to become what his friends call an extraordinary mountaineer. He hasn't told his story in his own words until now. Among the most intrepid and fearless climbers, Hebert Centrone has traveled from coast to coast in search of fresh challenges and new heights to conquer. Along the way he has accumulated an extraordinary list of experiences, including an excruciating night without a tent in a shallow snow cave. With the triumphs came harrowing incidents of suffering and many humiliating situations at the hand of his climbing partner. This is just not the end but the very beginning of a journey full of great expectations.
