Soils and Their Environment [Facsimile]
Editorial Reviews
The publisher, Prentice-Hall Career & Technology
Mainstream introductory text for the soils course. This text is somewhat higher level than Miller/Donohue in that it goes into greater detail when discussing chemistry. The book is balanced in that it provides broad coverage of the concerns of both the east and the west - should be helpful in selling nationally.
From the Back Cover
This expansive treatment of soils provides a solid,in-depth foundation to soil principles and concepts and their application. This comprehensive volume brings together the concepts of soil with other basic sciences in a single source. It incorporates a wealth of detailed information on chemistry, physics, geology, and plant physiology in its examination of soil properties and soil-plant relationships. Mechanisms controlling soil, pH, weathering and soil formation processes, heat movement in soils, prediction and control of wind and water erosion and other topics are clearly illustrated in easy-to-read theoretical detail, making this a valuable guide to the science of soil.
