History of the Oldham Equitable Cooperative Society Limited: From 1820 to 1900 is a book written by Charles Walters and published in 1900. It is a comprehensive account of the Oldham Equitable Cooperative Society Limited, one of the earliest and most successful cooperative societies in the United Kingdom. The book covers the history of the society from its inception in 1820 to the end of the nineteenth century, highlighting the key events, people, and policies that shaped its development.The Oldham Equitable Cooperative Society Limited was founded by a group of weavers in the town of Oldham in Lancashire, England. It quickly grew in size and influence, becoming a model for other cooperative societies throughout the country. The society was guided by a set of principles that emphasized mutual aid, democratic decision-making, and the provision of high-quality goods and services at fair prices.The book provides a detailed account of the society's early years, including its struggles to establish itself in the face of opposition from established merchants and manufacturers. It also describes the society's growth and expansion in the mid-nineteenth century, as it opened new stores, developed new products, and established a range of social and educational programs for its members.Walters also examines the challenges faced by the society in the late nineteenth century, as it struggled to adapt to changing economic conditions and new forms of competition. Despite these challenges, the Oldham Equitable Cooperative Society Limited remained a powerful force in the cooperative movement, and its legacy continues to be felt today.Overall, History of the Oldham Equitable Cooperative Society Limited: From 1820 to 1900 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the cooperative movement in the United Kingdom, as well as for those interested in the history of Oldham and the broader social and economic history of the nineteenth century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Long overdue, this collection of timeless Acres U.S.A. interviews includes 25 diverse voices who sparked a movement still rapidly growing today around the world: organic, eco-agriculture. In 1976, when the first interview in this book was recorded, only a few lone voices in the agriculture industry could be heard teaching about soil health, holistic land and animal management, and this wild idea of organic farming. More than 45 years later, when the last interview in this book was recorded, the organic food industry had rocketed into the billions of dollars and a new progression of regenerative agriculture was starting to sweep the world. These pages include 25 free thinkers whose ideas and actions were fundamental in this continued evolution in favor of soil health and human health.You'll read interviews that include: William A. Albrecht explaining eco-agriculture in 1976;Charles Walters' timeless talk on change in farming;Wendell Berry's warning about fear after 9/11;Elaine Ingham's groundbreaking interview on soil biology;Gabe Brown's launch of the regenerative ag movement;And more, including Dr. Vandana Shiva, Eliot Coleman, Jerry Brunetti, Bill Mollison, Leah Penniman, and Gary Zimmer!

With the recent republication of Dr. Maynard Murray's Sea Energy Agriculture, readers rediscovered the forgotten legacy of an eco-ag pioneer. Murray's idea - that ocean water contains a concentrated, perfect balance of trace minerals in bioavailable form - seems almost as revolutionary today as when he introduced it 30 years ago. In this fascinating book, Charles Walters examines Murray's career and the amazing successes that growers have experienced with his methods, as well as further developments in this technology by creative experimenters.Using hard data obtained in the field, Walters demonstrates that sea-solids fertilizers produce stress-resistant plants and food with naturally extended shelf life and vastly increased nutrient levels. Both an amazing narrative and a practical guide for improving soil and crop health, Fertility from the Ocean Deep is a must-read for everyone interested in the cutting edge of agriculture.
