All the then latest scientific and technical data (over 250 tables and figures) on sweet potato research and technology, growing systems and processed products. Not sure if this investment area will 'spudder' over time. Walter A. Hill (born August 9, 1946) is an American scientist who is Professor and Dean of the College of Agriculture, Environment and Nutrition Sciences at Tuskegee University. In 2016 he was inducted into the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture Hall of Fame. Hill has spent the majority of his academic career at Tuskegee. His early research considered sweet potatoes; in 1990, Hill, among other authors, published a paper proposing sweet potatoes as a viable candidate for the controlled ecological life-support system program. The program was developed as people became concerned about food supplies during long-term crewed space missions. Amongst eight crops considered for growth in space, sweet potatoes were easiest to produce and store. Hill investigated whether sweet potatoes could be grown using hydroponics. At Tuskegee, Hill was named the Director of the George Washington Carver Agricultural Experiment Station. He became Dean of the College of Agriculture, Environment and Nutrition Sciences in 2012. In 1991 Tuskegee University hosted an international meeting under the same title as this book. This book describes the major developments in sweet potato research and utilization. It contains all major papers delivered at this symposium. It includes information on the Poster Presentations. A final section includes photographs and recipes. From a Journal of Commerce 1987 article: SCIENTISTS SEEKING TO DEVELOP SWEET POTATO FOR 'SPACE' DINING. Scientists at Tuskegee University are trying to develop a sweet potato that can be grown on the moon. They're working on the same campus where George Washington Carver used sweet potatoes to make ethanol and more than 200 other products. Today's scientists are hoping the not-so-distant descendants of our sweet potatoes will be grown and eaten in space stations on the moon, maybe even Mars and beyond," said Walter A. Hill, chief administrator of the Tuskegee project. A team of scientists - whose specialties include plant breeding, horticulture, soil science, food chemistry, biochemistry, engineering, microbiology, plant pathology and plant physiology - is building on Mr. Carver's work, financed by a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The goal is to develop a sweet potato that will meet the requirements of space gardens" in the 21st century. Their successes include the first sweet potatoes ever grown in a strictly hydroponic solution - just water and nutrients. We've harvested hydroponically grown sweet potatoes up to three inches in diameter. And this was after just 90 days, compared with the 120 days it usually would take growing them in your garden," said Mr. Hill, a soil scientist. We think this is phenomenal." We've researched the literature and can't find where anybody has been able to do what they've accomplished at Tuskegee," he said in a telephone interview. We've at least 12 experiments under way at the moment," said Phil Loretan, a nuclear engineer with the project. Mr. Hill said the sweet potato was selected as a potential space vegetable because it's such a good oxygen producer and has a high Vitamin A content. Also, the leaves are edible as well as the roots, so there's less waste, an important asset in space," he said. Scientific literature says the sweet potato, actually an enlarged root, is believed to have originated in Central America. Taken to Africa and Europe by early.

Single Issue Magazine. Condizione: Very Good. Robert L. Lipman, A.C. Lovekin, J.S. Hutchinson, James K. Moffitt, Ansel F. Hall, Frank A. Williamson, C.O. Schneider, W. Harris, Con L. Grover, Frederick H. Morley, Walter L. Huber, Chester Versteeg (illustratore). First Edition. San Francisco: Sierra Club, 1923. First Edition. Vol XI, No. 4, for 1923. This was published during a several-year time period when the Sierra Club did not stipulate the month of an issue, just the volume, the number, and the year - monthly designations for such an infrequent publication having always been somewhat unnecessary in any case. Original printed wrappers, 9 1/4" x 6 1/4", 115 pp. + numerous unpaginated photographic plates, features and ads, including a fold-out map (Grouse Meadows to Vidette Meadow) and a fold-out wide-angle photograph by W.H. Wright. Gray stapled wraps, rather than the usual medium brown. Very Good; circuit binding (yapp binding) was used, in which cover edges were intentionally extended out beyond page edges, but over time the extended part becomes pressed inward somewhat (see scan). Some damage at inside front hinge area, and some spine sunning and abrasion. A handsome copy. See scans. Binding sturdy, contents fine. See scan of contents page for the lineup of stellar club writers and their always engaging and adventurous topics. In addition to the graphics mentioned above, this issue is chock full of photographic plates by the club's best photographers, as well as others, including Robert L. Lipman, A.C. Lovekin, J.S. Hutchinson, James K. Moffitt, Ansel F. Hall, Frank A. Williamson, C.O. Schneider, W. Harris (an 1867 shot), Con L. Grover, Frederick H. Morley, Walter L. Huber, Chester Versteeg and several uncredited artists. SC2.
