  • Biochemistry
    BIOCHEMISTRY Fig. 1. Agricultural Chem- istry Building from the southeast, just visible at the left of the picture is the 1939 addition. [series 9/3 Biochemistry, x25-6365] Biochemistry was built to alleviate the severe crowding in agriculture hall in 1912. It was added to in 1939, 1957 and 1984. A further addition is planned for 1996. The building is significant for a number of brilliant scientists ( including Babcock, Elvehjem, Steenbock, Link and De Luca) who worked there. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. y 1910 agriculture hall was on the path previously followed by science hall, that of spawning myriad disciplines and departments needing space and special accommodations outside the Bparent building. Agricultural engineering, horticulture, plant pathology and agronomy, had already left their cradles in Agriculture Hall and moved into specialized facilities nearby. In his report to the regents in 1909-1910, president Van Hise says: "A consideration of the laboratory space in the central agriculture hall leads Dean Russell to conclude that agricultural chemistry and bacteriology cannot possibly be accommodated for three years longer."1 Dean Russell's report (written in October 1910) shows the magnitude of the space problem. In Agriculture Hall for agricultural chemistry and bacteriology there was lab space for 30 students and locker space for 83 for courses which the sophomore class was required to take. Advanced work had facilities for only four or five. Russell proposed the construction of a fireproof central unit for agri- cultural chemistry, to contain offices, classrooms, a large (350-400 seat) auditorium, and a laboratory wing with space for at least 150 students at a time, and including space for special work and research labs.

  • Sturm Und Dung: Justus Von Liebig and the Chemistry of Agriculture
    Sturm und Dung: Justus von Liebig and the Chemistry of Agriculture Pat Munday, Montana Tech, Butte, Montana 59701-8997, USA In August of 1990, I completed a PhD dissertadon titled "Sturm und Dung: Justus von Liebig and the Chemistry of Agriculture"1 as a graduate Student with the Program in the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology at Comell University. In this work, I tried to utilize the historical tools I had lear- ned from the members my doctoral committee, Chaired by Professor Dr. L. Pearce Williams; the other two members of my committee were Professor Dr. Isabel V. Hüll and Professor Dr. Margaret W. Rossiter. Briefly, these tools included: a thorough mastery of the secondary literature; utilizadon of primary and manuscript sources, especially manuscript sources neglected by previous historians; and "a radical cridque of central institudons and sacred cows" achieved, in part, through "focussing on eccentricity and contradiction. "2 As mentors for my life and models3 for my work, I thank Professors Williams, Hüll, and Rossiter, and apologize for my shortcomings as their Student. I have published a few articles cannibalized from my dissertadon.4 Since I now am fortunate enough to work with an insdtudon that emphasizes teaching over the publication of obscure books, I have never been pressured to publish my dissertadon as such. Based on my correspondence and rare attendance at Pro- fessional meetings, I thought my work on Liebig had been received lukewannly at best. It therefore came as a great surprise when, because of my dissertadon, I received one of the two 1994 Liebig-Wöhler-Freundschafts Preise sponsored by Wilhelm Lewicki and awarded by the Göttinger Chemische Gesellschaft.

  • Chemical Innovation in Plant Nutrition in a Historical Continuum from Ancient Greece and Rome Until Modern Times
    DOI: 10.1515/cdem-2016-0002 CHEM DIDACT ECOL METROL. 2016;21(1-2):29-43 Jacek ANTONKIEWICZ 1* and Jan ŁAB ĘTOWICZ 2 CHEMICAL INNOVATION IN PLANT NUTRITION IN A HISTORICAL CONTINUUM FROM ANCIENT GREECE AND ROME UNTIL MODERN TIMES INNOWACJE CHEMICZNE W OD ŻYWIANIU RO ŚLIN OD STARO ŻYTNEJ GRECJI I RZYMU PO CZASY NAJNOWSZE Abstract: This monograph aims to present how arduously views on plant nutrition shaped over centuries and how the foundation of environmental knowledge concerning these issues was created. This publication also presents current problems and trends in studies concerning plant nutrition, showing their new dimension. This new dimension is determined, on one hand, by the need to feed the world population increasing in geometric progression, and on the other hand by growing environmental problems connected with intensification of agricultural production. Keywords: chemical innovations, plant nutrition Introduction Plant nutrition has been of great interest since time immemorial, at first among philosophers, and later among researchers. The history of environmental discoveries concerning the way plants feed is full of misconceptions and incorrect theories. Learning about the multi-generational effort to find an explanation for this process that is fundamental for agriculture shows us the tenacity and ingenuity of many outstanding personalities and scientists of that time. It also allows for general reflection which shows that present-day knowledge (which often seems obvious and simple) is the fruit of a great collective effort of science. Antiquity Already in ancient Greece people were interested in life processes of plants, the way they feed, and in the conditions that facilitate or inhibit their growth.

Everything Circulates: Agricultural Chemistry and Recycling Theories in the Second Half of the Nineteenth Century ERLAND MÅRALD Department of Historical Studies, Umeå University S-901 87 Umeå, Sweden Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper analyses the arguments in favour of recycling put forth by agricultural chemists in the mid nineteenth century. In this context the study emphasises how agricultural chemical theories, mainly developed by Justus Liebig, were con- nected to larger issues outside the scientific domain. The study also investigates how agricultural chemists argued for different kinds if recycling systems in a more practical way. By way of conclusion, some reasons for the ultimate abandonment of the recycling discourse at the end of the nineteenth century will be discussed. KEY WORDS Justus Liebig, agricultural chemistry, chemico-theology, recycling, sewage, Alexander Müller, nineteenth century Paris casts twenty-five millions yearly into the water.

As an alternative, tinkering with market incentives can also redirect economic activity by redefining what is profitable. Either approach incurs indirect costs in both the short- and long-run. As has become increasingly apparent in many of the world's economies, these costs may be substantial. As profitability is redefined, the mix of the supply of goods from current technologies will shift, redefining employment of labor and other resources as well as the incomes and returns to those inputs and technologies.
