520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc "This is about a new century of agricultural and agriscience developments. <br/>This textbook will be used by a generation of students whose lives may span two different centuries and two different millenia. it is interesting to consider that in all of the ages since humans first engaged in agricultural pursuits, nearby all of the agricultural innovations and technologies ever known to humankind have evolved in fewer than 100 years. <br/>It is the modern agriscience textbook that will introduce the "millennium generation" to agricultural careers.<br/>This edition of the book expands on the original text and the ideas of earlier editions. The science component has been strengthened with some new lab exercises. Statistics and text have been modified to reflect changes that have occurred since the last edition was published, and new examples of agricultural applications of science and technology have been added."
