The chronicle is a synthesis of six years of research into Zamorano's history and the leading figures who created it and brought its extraordinarily effective method of teaching hands-on agriculture to fruition. The result is engaging and thought-provoking. From its pages a new Wilson Popenoe emerges in an accurately balanced account of his role as the founding Director, combined with a critical appraisal of his character that does not lose sight of the whole man. The role of many professors is discussed, and their particular virtues and flaws are portrayed with both humor and sensitivity. Their interesting lives and the lives of 14 former students, who helped build the sound 'Learning- by-Doing' system, are vividly described. The history is amplified with 234 photographs from old phases of EAP's history.
This book gives a comprehensive perspective into this singular international college in the highlands of Honduras that has graduated more than 5,000 of the most capable and recognized agronomists of the Tropical American region.
