A man may be a first-rate farmer as regards...

This book is both an invitation to contemplation and an exercise in humility. Boyer and Hall bring together theology and spirituality in a way that will help both seasoned travelers and new pilgrims on the road of faith."--Timothy Geo...

But most of all I think...

Excerpt from Fertilisers and Manures The object, then, of the scientific man should be to lay down principles which the practical man in his turn must learn to apply to his own conditions, success is only possible when he too does some thinking.
