    Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines soil erosion on Barnes soils, a type of soil found in the northwestern fringe of the Corn Belt. The author analyzed 10 years of runoff and soil loss data, collected from 1961 to 1971, to establish soil loss values for this region. The study revealed that, while continuous corn farming can lead to excessive soil erosion in certain years, a good soil-saving rotation of corn, oats, and alfalfa-brome hay can effectively reduce losses. Additionally, the author discusses the influence of climate, topography, and soil management practices on soil erosion, providing valuable insights for farmers and land managers seeking to protect soil resources in the region. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

    4to. [Approx. 520 pp (sections separately paginated, some unpaginated)]. Frontispiece, numerous maps (many folding, some in colour), plans (some folded), tables, diagrams (some in colour), and other text photographs and illustrations. Burgundy-coloured simulated calf, gilt lettering on front cover & spine (minor shelfwear, slight rubbing), still NF copy, from library of Richard Rosecrans w/bookplate on front pastedown. First edition of this remarkably scarce report prepared during the depths of World War II to detail the traffic flows, needs, road structures, the loads of existing Columbia River Bridges at Hood River, Cascade Locks, and Longview, together with proposed bridges to be built in order to facilitate economic growth in the Pacific Northwest Home Front. The proposed bridges included those at the Dalles, Umatilla, and Astoria which were eventually built, but also pushed for far more crossings, which have been resisted up to the present day. Of particular interest are the photos and descriptions of the types of commercial trucks and buses on the roads, the service stations and support facilities for maintaining commerce, and more. …

    Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Electricity has penetrated deeply into virtually every aspect of American life, be it in industry, the home, or in the rapidly growing commercial and service sectors. This book documents and analyzes the existence of a strong, and growing, synergy between technological progress and the use of electrified production techniques in the United States during the twentieth century. The authors use two types of information in their work: case studies of the ways in which technological progress in particular industries and economic sectors has depended upon the adoption of electrified methods of production and aggregative long-term national economic statistics that measure the changing relationship over time between increases in the use of electricity and other factor inputs and the growth in industrial productivity. Eleven of the book's thirteen chapters cover the case studies, while the remaining two chapters and the statistical appendix contain the broad quantitative findings and supporting data.In their analysis, the authors address three inter-related questions from a long-term evolutionary perspective: Why has electricity's share of total energy risen so sharply over the years? How has this rise been related to productivity growth? and Why has the rise in electricity led to long-term improvements in the efficiency of overall energy use despite the thermal energy losses sustained when fuels are converted into electricity? The answer to these questions, they contend, is the technological progress represented by electrified production technologies, and in the new ways of organizing production that are now possible. The different ways in which electrical energy has been put to work, and with what results, are examined in the various case studies presented, and further documented in the aggregative statistical analysis. This study reveals the important role that the electrification of production operations has played in supporting productivity growth in manufacturing and other economic sectors in the past, and the important part that it can continue to play in the future. This book will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers; those interested in productivity issues, energy policy, electricity in general, historians of technology, economic historians, and those interested in current technological issues. It will be a necessary acquisition for college and university libraries, as well as those individuals interested in energy, technology, economic growth, history, and the interfaces among them. This book documents and analyzes the existence of a strong and growing synergy between technological progress and the use of electrified production techniques in the United States during the 20th century. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Eleven of the book's thirteen chapters cover the case studies, while the remaining two chapters and the statistical appendix contain the broad quantitative findings and supporting data.In their analysis, the authors address three inter-related questions from a long-term evolutionary perspective: Why has electricity's share of total energy risen so sharply over the years How has this rise been related to productivity growth and Why has the rise in electricity led to long-term improvements in the efficiency of overall energy use despite the thermal energy losses sustained when fuels are converted into electricity The answer to these questions, they contend, is the technological progress represented by electrified production technologies, and in the new ways of organizing production that are now possible. The different ways in which electrical energy has been put to work, and with what results, are examined in the various case studies presented, and further documented in the aggregative statistical analysis. This study reveals the important role that the electrification of production operations has played in supporting productivity growth in manufacturing and other economic sectors in the past, and the important part that it can continue to play in the future. This book will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers; those interested in productivity issues, energy policy, electricity in general, historians of technology, economic historians, and those interested in current technological issues. It will be a necessary acquisition for college and university libraries, as well as those individuals interested in energy, technology, economic growth, history, and the interfaces among them.…
