Excerpt from Agricultural MeteorologyThis textbook is written as an introduction to the field of agricul tural meteorology on the college level. In its original form, this book was a collection of class lecture notes which the author has used at the Fukien Christian University in China as well as at the University of Wisconsin in the United States. The content has been changed and extended to incorporate as much as possible of the recent progress in this branch of science, and on the basis of the author's teaching ex perience. As a horizontal science, the field of agricultural meteorol ogy involves many subject areas in agriculture and some in the bio logical and physical sciences - ranging from construction design of plant and animal houses to phenology and weather forecasts, as rep resented ih a great variety of research topics. It is the author's in tention to present this work not merely as a description of the micro environment, but also as a study of relationships that exist between plants (or animals) and the microenvironment, with emphasis on meth ods of approach to various problems in order that the reader may follow the principles and schemes as guides in developing his own special ized area of study. The materials included are by no means exhaustive, but an attempt has been made to include sufficiently varied topics. Moreover, some areas which are in their beginning stage of develop ment are also included so as to present, hopefully, germs of ideas for future investigation. As an old Chinese saying expresses, throw a piece of brick and hope for a gem to return.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
