Описание: `No other group of workers in the history of the English working-class has received more sympathy and less scholarly attention than the handloom weavers of the Lancashire cotton industry during the Industrial Revolution.` Mr Bythell`s is a detailed study of this important group.
Описание: To ensure that business models for mechanization hire services are profitable, sustainable and inclusive, this study analyses five typical agri-hire business models, identifying their success factors and providing entry points for investment.
On a visit to a Berkshire paper mill, the narrator of Herman Melville's "The Tartarus of Maids" views the "wonderful" papermaking machine with awe and calls it a "miracle of inscrutable intricacy." Manifesting in their factories and towns such nineteenth-century fascination with machinery, paper mill owners and workers made an industrial revolution in Berkshrie County, Massachusetts. This book examines their experiences from the era of craft production through several generations of sustained technological change to answer two major questions: What accounts for the widespread and rapid adoption of machines in nineteenth-century America? And how did the new technology help to transform America socially and culturally? Rejecting technological determinism, Judith McGaw effectively integrates labor, business, social, and women's history with technological history to bring to life the human decisions that made mechanization possible. In compelling detail the author offers new explanations of how change in the craft era paved the way for industrialization and how paternalism worked in small-scale industry. She also provides a thoughtful discussion of the interaction between evangelical culture and the emerging industrial order, and a close analysis of how nineteenth-century gender distinctions fostered mechanization. Judith A. McGaw is Assistant Professor of History of Technology at the University of Pennsylvania.
Originally published in 1987. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Описание: New ideas and developed technologies in agricultural operations depend to a large extent on scientific research diversity. Their results and implementation are responsible for increased agricultural production. The dynamic nature of agricultural operations and the complexity of agricultural machinery are indices of such scientific research diversity as evident in the wide spread requirements in agricultural operation if increased production must be sustained. Extensive works on agricultural mechanization and machinery utilization in agricultural production documented in this eleven chapter book will go a long way to acquaint students and researchers with the principles of agricultural machinery and provide him with requisite knowledge and skills on various agricultural machinery operations for effective agricultural mechanization. The book thus discusses in details the basic concepts in the development of agricultural machinery and mechanization.

Описание: Farm Mechanization has been identified as one of the factors that can promote the achievement of food security among both developed and developing countries. However, with the current trend of sustainable agriculture that promote conservation agriculture (CA) some of the farm machineries are highly discouraged while others act as complements or substitutes to CA. This book elaborates on some of the factors to consider in the use and utilization of a farm machine. This book walks the audience on the different farming tasks, the objective of the task and the best machinery to use to achieve this task while at the same time considering cost and environmental sustainability. The book also identifies the different issues such as Environment, Gender, Economic, Policy and Institutional issues that are related to agricultural mechanization. The understanding of these issues helps stakeholders to design policies and products that are tailored to the needs of farmers. By helping the users of the book understand the effect of farm machinery use, this book can be used to guide proper adoption of farm machinery.
