ThisĀ textbook on the applied aspects of soil physics covers
introduction to soil physical properties and processes, and their
evaluation and management in relation to plant growth. It
distinguishes physical properties that directly influence plant
growth from those that indirectly affect agricultural productivity.
Chapters are also devoted to the conceptĀ of soil health and
the role of soil physics on preservation of soil health and
environmental quality. As such, this book fills a unique knowledge
gap for agriculture and agronomy students, course directors as well
as field professionals.
This volume successfully attempts to understand the process of
rural transformation taking place in the country today by
initiating a dialogue with the worlds of policy and civil society.
It highlights the need to move beyond the normative notions of
decentralization-replete in literature on fiscal federalism and
liberal democracy. It provides an understanding of the dynamic
world of democratic decentralization in policy and process, and how
national, state, and local politics, and critical institutional
requirements like political, fiscal, and administrative autonomy
affect it. In doing so, it brings to the fore the role that
microeconomics can play for local outcomes and shape macro
consequences. It also recognizes that any attempt to formulate
decentralization arguments, designs, and strategies needs to be
validated and justified in practice.
Finally, the volume while recognizing that constitutional
amendments have provided vertical linkages for empowering the poor,
aims to forge horizontal linkages of local governments to
professionals like academics. It stresses on the need of the
academic community to find mechanisms to institutionalize the
learning process for the next generation.
