First published in 1977. Essentially an economic history with
strong emphasis on human factors, this title examines the reasons
for the backwardness of much of the farming of Wales and discusses
in detail how agricultural resources and organisation directly
affected the nature of social relationships within the community.
This study will be of central importance to students of the history
of Wales. It should appeal equally to those interested in the
economic history of late modern Britain; students of
nineteenth-century British Agriculture and the rural community;
historical geographers; and all those concerned with peasants and
peasant societies.

Digital Soil Mapping is the creation and the population of a
geographically referenced soil database. It is generated at a given
resolution by using field and laboratory observation methods
coupled with environmental data through quantitative relationships.
Digital soil mapping is advancing on different fronts at different
rates all across the world. This book presents the state-of-the art
and explores strategies for bridging research, production, and
environmental application of digital soil mapping.It includes
examples from North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and
Australia. The chapters address the following topics: - evaluating
and using legacy soil data - exploring new environmental covariates
and sampling schemes - using integrated sensors to infer soil
properties or status - innovative inference systems predicting soil
classes, properties, and estimating their uncertainties - using
digital soil mapping and techniques for soil assessment and
environmental application - protocol and capacity building for
making digital soil mapping operational around the globe. "

After a late and shaky start because of the jealousies of local
agricultural societies, the Welsh National Agricultural Society
founded in 1904 (to be renamed the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society
in 1922) was to surmount many problems and difficulties in its
first seventy years or so to become by the 1980s one of the three
major agricultural societies in the United Kingdom. This remarkable
success story is traced by David Howell in fourteen chapters which
cover the holding of the show at Aberystwyth from 1904 to 1909, the
migratory years between 1910 and 1962 when some 37 'canvass towns'
were erected at different centres in north and south Wales in
alternative years, and the society's fortunes on the permanent site
at Llanelwedd from 1963.
A comprehensive history of the founding of the Welsh National
Agricultural Society in 1904, its growth and development in the
face of early opposition, together with the success of the annual
Agricultural Show. An English version, Taking Stock, is available.
