Agricultural Implements of the Roman World
This book deals with the tools that the Roman world used in farming and with the way they used them. The author uses practical knowledge of agriculture, as well as learning, to identify and interpret the objects under examination.
Agricultural Implements and Machinery
This is a catalogue of the agricultural machinery on display at the British Science Museum when this volume was first published. A history of farming equipment is arguably a history of civilisation itself, always having been the driving force of humanity's development. With detailed descriptions, historical information, and authentic photographs, this volume walks the reader through the history of agricultural evolution in England throughout the ages. Contents include: "Historical Review", "Catalogue of Exhibits", "Tillage Implements", "Seed Drills and Manure Distributors", "Ridging Ploughs and Horse Hoes", "Harvesting Machinery", "Threshing Machinery", "Carts and Wagons", "Barn Machinery", "Milling Machinery", "Diary Machinery", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on agricultural tools and machinery.
Scottish Agricultural Implements
Over the centuries Scotland has produced a variety of agricultural implements which reflect both the subsistence farming of the crofting communities and the prosperity of the larger lowland farms. Until the eighteenth century implements were often rudimentary, particularly in crofting areas where most tasks were carried out by manpower. The movement towards improvement came in the eighteenth century and continued in the early nineteenth century and manufacturers produced implement variations to serve regional needs. In this book each implement is treated chronologically within a seasonal framework. About the author Bob Powell has close associations with the farming community and is vice-chairmanship of the Peterborough Farm Machinery Preservation Society.
