Expressions Definition
Agricola (book) The Agricola (Latin title: De vita et moribus Iulii Agricolae) is a book by Tacitus, written c. 98, which recounts the life of his father-in-law Gnaeus Julius Agricola, an eminent Roman general. It also covers, briefly, the geography and ethnography of ancient Britain. As in the Germania, Tacitus favorably contrasted the liberty of the native Britons to the corruption and tyranny of the Empire; the book also contains eloquent and vicious polemics against the rapacity and greed of Rome.

Alexander Agricola Alexander Agricola (1445 or 1446 - August 1506) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the Renaissance. (references)
Auster Agricola The Auster B8 Agricola was a commercially unsuccessful British agricultural aircraft designed for the aerial topdressing market which opened up in New Zealand in the early 1950s. Constructed of fabric over corrosion proofed steel frame the design featured a large high lift low set monoplane wing, external control cables, fixed tail wheel undercarriage and a somewhat angular fuselage, with an aft cabin that could seat two passengers, a hopper over the centre of the wing which could hold 750 kg of superphosphate in the topdressing role, or 654 litres of spray as a crop duster, the type was first flown in 1955. The pilot sat forward of the hopper over the wing leading edge, a position which gave a good field of view compared with the American practice of placing the pilot behind the hopper, though this view was somewhat restricted by the extensive framework joinery and bulky rear decking. One web site short listed the Agricola for the ugliest aircraft of all time. The Agricola's handling was generally described favorably, particularly it's slow speed performance and controls, while its rugged and simple construction allowed for easy maintenance and repair. However it was out competed in its target market by the PAC Fletcher and attempts to sell the type for Aerial application work in Britain, Australia and Europe met with little success. Only 9 were made. Of these ZK-BXO, is the sole survivor. Restored and for a long time owned by John Stephenson of Whitianga, BXO has recently (2005) been sold to the U.K. (references)
