The Science and Practice of Coconut Cultivation. By . C.I.E., B.Sc. John Bale, Sons & Danielsson, Ltd. London. 1923. De 26x17 cm, com xvi, 262, [ii] págs. Encadernação do editor. Ilustrado em extratexto sobre papel couché a preto e branco e com litografias coloridas de valor científico e de grande qualidade, num total de 45, e dois gráficos (com interesse para o coleccionismo de história natural). Contém prefácio, introdução, índice de capítulos, índice de ilustrações e índice analítico. Exemplar proveniente da biblioteca da Companhia do Boror, que desenvolveu muito as plantações de coqueiros e acabou por gerir os maiores coqueirais de Moçambique perto de Nampula. Obra técnica de referência sobre a agricultura tropical escrita pelo botânico económico britânico Hugh Charles Sampson, baseada na sua experiência no Departamento de Agricultura de Madras, na Índia. Publicado em Londres, o livro oferece um estudo científico pioneiro e minucioso sobre o cultivo comercial do coqueiro (Cocos nucifera), abrangendo desde a morfologia e fisiologia da planta até à gestão de viveiros, seleção de sementes, requisitos de solo, controlo de pragas e processamento de produtos como a copra. Devido à sua riqueza de dados práticos, a obra continua a ser um pilar histórico fundamental para a compreensão da agronomia e da gestão de plantações coloniais do início do século XX. Hugh Charles Sampson (1868?1938) formou-se na Universidade de Edimburgo e integrou o prestigiado Serviço Agrícola Indiano em 1906. Pelo seu trabalho inovador na modernização da agricultura e introdução de novas tecnologias agrícolas, foi condecorado com a Ordem do Império Indiano (CIE) em 1921. Em 1927, assumiu o cargo de botânico económico nos prestigiados Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, onde coordenou diversos projetos de desenvolvimento agrícola em colónias britânicas espalhadas pelas Caraíbas e África. 26 × 17 cm, with xvi, 262, [ii] pp. Publisher?s binding. Illustrated with black-and-white engravings on coated paper, together with 45 high-quality colour lithographs of scientific value, and two diagrams (of interest to natural history collectors). Contains a foreword, an introduction, a table of contents, a list of illustrations and a subject index. A copy from the library of the Companhia do Boror, which significantly expanded coconut plantations and eventually managed the largest coconut groves in Mozambique, near Nampula. A technical reference work on tropical agriculture written by the British economic botanist Hugh Charles Sampson, based on his experience at the Madras Department of Agriculture in India. Published in London, the book offers a pioneering and detailed scientific study of the commercial cultivation of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera), covering everything from the plant?s morphology and physiology to nursery management, seed selection, soil requirements, pest control and the processing of products such as copra. Owing to its wealth of practical data, the work remains a fundamental historical cornerstone for understanding agronomy and the management of colonial plantations in the early 20th century. Hugh Charles Sampson (1868?1938) graduated from the University of Edinburgh and joined the prestigious Indian Agricultural Service in 1906. For his pioneering work in modernising agriculture and introducing new agricultural technologies, he was awarded the Order of the Indian Empire (CIE) in 1921. In 1927, he took up the post of economic botanist at the prestigious Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, where he coordinated various agricultural development projects in British colonies across the Caribbean and Africa.
