Abstract
THE liturature on tropical agriculture is widely scattered, and it is not easy for the newcomer to tropical agriculture to find answers to the innumerable questions that he inevitably asks ; hence a compilasion of a general nature, such as the present work, fulfils a definite need. The book commences with an introduction consisting of five chapters dealing with tropical soils and environment, soil conservation, implements and haulage, irrigation and some economic aspects. These rather diverse topics are compressed into twenty-four pages, and while providing a useful introduction, it tends to oversimplify the various problems involved. A Handbook of Tropical Agriculture By G. B. Masefield. Pp. viii + 196. (Oxford: Clarendon Press; London: Oxford University Press, 1949.) 12s. 6d. net.
