The focus of this study is the variety of views about a  proper relationship between science and (agricultural) practice. Such  views and plans materialised in the overall organisation of research  and education. Moreover, the book provides case studies of genetics  and plant breeding in the Netherlands, colonial rice breeding, and  agricultural statistics. Ideas affected the organisation as much as  the other way round. The net result was an institutional development  in which the values of academic science were rated higher than the  values of practice. \u003cbr\u003e  This book is a distinctive piece of work as it treats the dynamics of  science in a European as well as in a colonial context. These  different ecological and social environments lead to other forms of  knowledge and experimentation as well as other ways of organising  science.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048158645\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-2954-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 250\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481800601740,"sku":"9789048158645","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048158645.jpg?v=1770785291","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048158645","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
