Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. A 1" tear to dustjacket, with some edgewear. The aim of this American book as stated by the editor is to widen public understanding of birds by giving a broad perspective of them as they affect and are affected by people, other birds and other forms of life and activities. He believes that this is the best way to achieve public support. His book should do just this. It is one of the most wide-ranging, popular symposiums on the subject of birds for the ordinary bird-watcher and bird lover in existence, imposing not only for its subject matter, which naturally chiefly concerns American birds, but also for the range of authors, beginning with a foreword by Stewart Udall, Secretary of the Department of the Interior, who emphasizes that in this technological age there is necessity for us to learn about the inter-relationships of all living things. All aspects of birds are treated, beginning with a look at the birds themselves and what they are, what they mean to us, their place in the arts, in recreation, as an economic problem, in nature, and finally their conservation and protection. Although each of the fifty-four chapters within the sections is comparatively short, the depth of treatment is impressive and often gives a comprehensive summary of the particular subject. Illustrations include 372 black and white photographs, mostly of very high standard, and 80 wash drawings by Bob Hines.…

Among the sections addressed are: Houses, Furnishing, Equipment, Finances, Safeguards, Plants, Outdoors, Activities, Clothing, and Food. This book tells us, consumers all, many things about buying, using, or making food, clothing, household furnishing, and equipment; managing money, caring for yards, gardens, and houses; bettering communities, using leisure time; and staying healthy. This book reflects some, not all, of the many facets of the Department of Agriculture's work on behalf of consumers and homemakers. Many of the contributors to this book are in the Department or are connected with it, each writing from experience gained in the job, but others have been called upon for some chapters that enlarge the usefulness of the book and are within its scope. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is the federal executive department responsible for developing and executing federal laws related to farming, forestry, rural economic development, and food. It aims to meet the needs of commercial farming and livestock food production, promotes agricultural trade and production, works to assure food safety, protects natural resources, fosters rural communities and works to end hunger in the United States and internationally. On May 15, 1862, Abraham Lincoln established the independent Department of Agriculture through the Morrill Act to be headed by a commissioner without Cabinet status. Staffed by only eight employees, the department was charged with conducting research and development related to "agriculture, rural development, aquaculture and human nutrition in the most general and comprehensive sense of those terms". Agriculturalist Isaac Newton was appointed to be the first commissioner. Lincoln called it the "people's department", owing to the fact that over half of the nation at the time was directly or indirectly involved in agriculture or agribusiness. In 1868, the department moved into the new Department of Agriculture Building in Washington, designed by famed D.C. architect Adolf Cluss. Located on the National Mall between 12th Street and 14th SW, the department had offices for its staff and the entire width of the Mall up to B Street NW to plant and experiment with plants. In the 1880s, varied advocacy groups were lobbying for Cabinet representation. Business interests sought a Department of Commerce and Industry, and farmers tried to raise the Department of Agriculture to Cabinet rank. In 1887, the House of Representatives and Senate passed separate bills giving Cabinet status to the Department of Agriculture and Labor, but the bill was defeated in conference committee after farm interests objected to the addition of labor. Finally, in 1889 the Department of Agriculture was given cabinet-level status. In 1887, the Hatch Act provided for the federal funding of agricultural experiment stations in each state. The Smith-Lever Act of 1914 then funded cooperative extension services in each state to teach agriculture, home economics, and other subjects to the public. With these and similar provisions, the USDA reached out to every county of every state. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. …
