The pivotal position of the Oxford region in the geological and therefore building history of England is of fundamental importance to the study of traditional construction. Oxford occupies a central position on the ancient route between Northampton and Southampton and on the east - west road between London, The West Country, Wales and Ireland. For this reason, unusually for vernacular architecture, the buildings of the region were subject to a wide range of influences. This book, the fruit of twenty years research, provides an account of vernacular architecture in the Oxford region from Anglo-Saxon times to the 19th century. It begins with a discussion of methods and procedures followed by a description of building materials, stone, brick, slate and thatch. This serves as an introduction to the heart of the book, eleven chapters dealing with surveys of cruck buildings, manorial and moated sites, town houses with particular emphasis on Abingdon, and houses in the countryside from farmhouses to cottages. There are then chapters on fire hazards, public houses and public buildings. Several appendices are devoted to wall paintings, ferramenta, apotropaic marks, carpentry details, secrets under the floorboards, fireplaces, staircases and windows. The book is richly and profusely illustrated with over 500 illustrations, photographs, maps, and a particular strength, a large number of drawings of architectural details and sketch perspectives.

The Agricultural industry is always at risk - crops are affected by weather, diseases and pests. When a global pandemic hits suddenly, it becomes very difficult to manage various processes because most are not digital. In parallel, the rapid increase in the population and urbanization, demands more food production on less land. Farming under the demand pressure by increasing input consumption, leads to increases costs and negative impacts to the environment such as decreasing soil fertility continuously over time. There is therefore the need to move beyond traditional farming. To produce more yield in the agricultural field, there is the need to dig deep into the technological field and apply sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, cloud computing and machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques. Better decision making, prediction and reliability depend upon high level of knowledge base and perceptions.
