Book Description
Excerpt from A Ten-Year Review of Home-Management Extension, 1914-1924 The dominant idea behind extension programs directed to the improvement of the farm home is to enable the farm woman to perform her great variety of duties with less expenditure of energy and time. If some household task can be done in one hour instead of two, and with less physical effort, by the use of labor and time saving equipment, extension agents have brought that fact before farm women in an interesting and impersonal way.

Pages : 38
Book Description
Excerpt from Farm-Management Extension, 1914-1924 The first group is handled almost entirely through a card file in the office. This shows when each man's record is due to close, and other facts. A letter is sent each farmer near the end Of his year, inclosing an application card which he fill out and returns for a new book. When the record closes he is forwarded another book and at the same time requested to lend us the completed book for a county summary. Most of the new cooperators are obtained at the community planning meetings when the project is explained, leaders chosen, new men enrolled as cooperators, and arrangements made for further subject-matter meetings. Circular letters were also used, prepared by the farm-management specialist. For the new men, assistance in starting their accounts was given, largely in group meetings. An accounts started card was used, being sent to all men who were not inter viewed, with the request that they return the card if the book had been started. We like this system very much, as the response was prompt and permitted an accurate record to' be) kept. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Good Economics for Hard Times
Author: Abhijit V. Banerjee
Publisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 1541762878
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
The winners of the Nobel Prize show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day. Figuring out how to deal with today's critical economic problems is perhaps the great challenge of our time. Much greater than space travel or perhaps even the next revolutionary medical breakthrough, what is at stake is the whole idea of the good life as we have known it. Immigration and inequality, globalization and technological disruption, slowing growth and accelerating climate change--these are sources of great anxiety across the world, from New Delhi and Dakar to Paris and Washington, DC. The resources to address these challenges are there--what we lack are ideas that will help us jump the wall of disagreement and distrust that divides us. If we succeed, history will remember our era with gratitude; if we fail, the potential losses are incalculable. In this revolutionary book, renowned MIT economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo take on this challenge, building on cutting-edge research in economics explained with lucidity and grace. Original, provocative, and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times makes a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. It is an extraordinary achievement, one that shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.

Command Of The Air
Author: General Giulio Douhet
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1782898522
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 620
Book Description
In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.
