520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc "This book takes a measured look at the good and the bad. It is essentially practical in character, and examines what has been done and can be done to improve agricultural productivity in a wide variety of environments. The application of technology to agriculture, so that the best can be made of resources in each case, is not only vital in itself but also provides a framework for progress in adapting to the implications of technology generally. By helping people towards sustainable development, it helps them towards self-respect, equilibrium and even an eventual share in the glamour."
