The Memoir Club
Like new, near fine copy of \""Thin on the Ground: Land Resource Survey in British Overseas Territories\"" by Anthony Young, published in 2007 in Great Britain by the Memoir Club, in paperback, 230pp, ISBN 9781841041759\nAbout this book: Thin On The Ground describes an episode in the history of Britains overseas territories that transformed knowledge about their potential, as ecologists and soil surveyors set off into the bush or the forest and mapped the resources for agriculture and rural development. It is the first time that the story of land resource survey, beginning between the two World Wars and reaching its full flowering in 1950 -1975, has been told. The author has drawn upon his own research and reminiscences, and accounts by over 80 former staff. Descriptions of scientific advances are interwoven with their recollections of events, sometimes bizarre, in the field. The book contributes both to the history of science and to Colonial history. Anthony Young has over 40 yea)
