Tacitus (Cornelius), famous Roman historian, was born in 55, 56 or 57 CE and lived to about 120. He became an orator, married in 77 a daughter of Julius Agricola before Agricola went to Britain, was quaestor in 81 or 82, a senator under the Flavian emperors, and a praetor in 88.

Close friend of the younger Pliny, with him he successfully prosecuted Marius Priscus.Works: (i) Life and Character of Agricola, written in 97–98, specially interesting because of Agricola's career in Britain. (ii) Germania (98–99), an equally important description of the geography, anthropology, products, institutions, and social life and the tribes of the Germans as known to the Romans. (iii) Dialogue on Oratory (Dialogus), of unknown date; a lively conversation about the decline of oratory and education. (iv) Histories (probably issued in parts from 105 onwards), a great work originally consisting of at least twelve books covering the period 69–96 CE, but only Books I–IV and part of Book V survive, dealing in detail with the dramatic years 69–70.

^TTacitus: Agricola and Germay ^D

"The Agricola" is both a portrait of Julius Agricola - the most famous governor of Roman Britain and Tacitus' well-loved and respected father-in-law - and the first detailed account of Britain that has come down to us. It offers fascinating descriptions of the geography, climate and peoples of the country, and a succinct account of the early stages of the Roman occupation, nearly fatally undermined by Boudicca's revolt in AD 61 but consolidated by campaigns that took Agricola as far as Anglesey and northern Scotland. The warlike German tribes are the focus of Tacitus' attention in the "Germania", which, like the "Agricola", often compares the behaviour of 'barbarian' peoples favourably with the decadence and corruption of Imperial Rome.

Entomología Agrícola en México recopila décadas de experiencias entomológicas realizadas por el Dr. Luis Guerra Sobrevilla como investigador y coordinador del Programa de Entomología en el Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Forestales, Agrícolas y Pecuarias (INIFAP) en el campo experimental Centro de Investigaciones Agrícolas del Noroeste (CIANE) Se aborda ampliamente el manejo integral de plagas en el campo de la entomología, así como el concepto del período crítico de protección química de muchos cultivos y sobre muchos insectos plagas con el fin de determinar el momento más oportuno para iniciar el combate químico y lograr mejores rendimientos.Cubre, además, ampliamente el muestreo y la importancia que este método tiene en el manejo de plagas. Incluye métodos estadísticos sencillos de realizar para determinar si los datos de las muestras son representativos de lo que realmente hay en el campo y el efecto negativo de los insecticidas sobre las abejas que polinizan nuestros cultivos. Se presentan algunos factores que afectan la efectividad de los insecticidas, como el clima en general, factores biológicos o del mismo cultivo (su fenología, follaje y tamaño), la relación entre volumen y superficie, y la importancia que estos conceptos tienen al realizar una aplicación de insecticidas.

The first work of any great historian has always commanded attention, and Tacitus was ancient Rome's very greatest historian. His biography of his father-in-law, governor of Britain in the years AD 77-84, is a literary masterpiece: it combines penetrating political history with gripping military narrative and throughout poses the question (still very much alive today) of how one should live one's life under a tyranny. This is the first commentary in English on the Agricola for almost half a century: in keeping with the aims of the series, particular attention is paid to the understanding of Tacitus' Latin, but a whole range of generic, historical, textual and narrative topics is covered, and it will be suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students as well as scholars. Tacitus' Agricola remains a key text for anyone with an interest in Roman Britain as well as ancient biography.
