This book was written to provide an integrated account of barley,
induding its cultivation, nature and uses. An attempt has been made
to cut across the unjustified and obstructive divisions between
pure science, applied science, technology, botany, biochemistry,
agronomy, and so on. Limitations of space preclude the use of more
illustrative material or references, or even complete accounts of
various topics. However sufficient information is given to enable
the reader to understand the general principles and to find his or
her way readily into the literature to obtain further information.
Emphasis has been placed on general principles rather than details.
In becoming familiar with the literature one becomes acquainted
with the effects of the cereal or religion, the English language
and the development of agriculture and biochemistry. The comparison
between 'parallel literatures' is often stimulating also. For
example one is forced to conclude that many of the agricultural
problems of poor 'seed vigour' would be overcome if seedsmen used
the maltsters techniques for breaking dormancy and speeding
'post-harvest maturation'. Barley is the world's fourth most
important cereal after wheat, rice, and maize. It is the most
widely cultivated, being grown from the equator to 700N
(Scandinavia), from the humid regions of Europe and Japan to the
Saharan and Asiatic Oases, and from below sea level in Palestine to
high up mountains in the Himalayas, E. Africa and S. America. Some
where in the world it is being sown or harvested at every time of
the year."
