| Review: | The applied nature of agriculture ensures its close ties with both human systems and technological developments. By working together, scientists, educational and information technology communities, have made great strides in developing distributed and broad-based information systems. This reference book provides the information from a variety of sources needed for specialised searches for information and resources on traditional and emerging fields of agriculture, such as food and nutrition, rural development, farming, conservation management, veterinary science, soils, genetic engineering, biological control, and the environment. Methods of searching print and electronic media to locate hard-to-find documents, navigate poorly indexed subjects and investigate specific research topics are also included. |
