This set of proceedings volumes provides a broad coverage of basic and applied research projects dealing with the application of engineering principles to both food production and processing. The set consists of the following four volumes: Land and water use, Agricultural buildings, Agricultural mechanisation and Power, processing and systems. Includes about 450 papers from over 50 countries worldwide, drawn from the Eleventh International Congress on Agricultural Engineering, Dublin, 4-8 September 1989.
Excerpt from Rudimentary Treatise on Agricultural Engineering, Vol. 2: With Illustrations In the first division of this elementary work on Agricultural Engineering, everything which related to the arrangement of farm-buildings, was therein stated, so far at least as the limits of so small a work permitted; and the succeeding considerations in the present volume, will especially refer to the machines and implements used in connection with the farm-steading generally. Until within a few years, no machinery was regularly employed in the homestead; all was done by hand - aided, it is true, by a few rude tools - and in many districts of England, at this time, scarcely a single machine will be found in use; and it is only now in a very few farms that any regular system of mechanical arrangements exist for performing all the home operations, with the economy and superiority that a regular set of the most approved machines will do. Certainly, one or two machines may be found on almost every steading; but they are improperly fitted up, and generally, if examined, will be found to be in a very bad state, and consequently, not half the advantage is obtained from them that would be gained if they formed part of a regular system, properly set up.

This book has been written as a textbook for students seeking a professional degree in agricultural engineering. The authors believe that for students with this objective the course of study should be primarily analytical, rather than descriptive, and that the analytical approach should apply not only to ideas but also to quantitative procedures and computations. We recognize that sound analysis, particularly in applied fields, is based on the understanding of theoretical principles and on knowledge of many practical considerations. We have tried to maintain a good balance between the preparation of theory and practice, but we favor emphasis of theoretical considerations on the basis that they usually are not mastered except in an organized course of study, whereas practical knowledge is more easily assimilated. To present both theory and practice makes heavy demands on class time and textbook space. For this reason it has been possible to treat in detail only a few typical environmental systems for livestock housing and storing agricultural products as a means of illustrating methods of analysis and the application of principles. It is presumed, however, that such study will prepare the student for work with other types of structures.

The second of a seven-volume series, The Literature of the Agricultural Sciences, this book analyzes the trends in published literature of agricultural engineering during the past century with emphasis on the last forty years. It uses citation analysis and other bibliometric techniques to identify the most important journals, report series, and monographs for the developed countries as well as those in the Third World.
