Soils : Genesis and Geomorphology
Editorial Reviews
Review
Pre-publication praise: ' ... a comprehensive new text that brings the excitement of discovery back into soil science ... an enthusiastic presentation of the complexity and beauty of soils and the landscapes they occupy. The writing is clear without being simplistic and the numerous figures illustrate the concepts admirably ... The book will be essential reading for teachers, students, researchers, field soil scientists and all who have an interest in soil geomorphology.' Dan Muhs
' ... a landmark publication in the study of soils ... This book should be unusually versatile, suitable at advanced undergraduate and graduate levels for courses in pedology, soil geography, and soil geomorphology. It is a remarkable volume, quite unlike any other soils book out there.' Vance Holliday, Professor of Anthropology and Geosciences, University of Arizona
'... a well written, refreshing, and sorely needed addition to the fields of soils, geomorphology, physical geography, ecology, archaeology, and Quaternary geology. This book has it all ... I predict wide adoption in courses that treat these subjects. It is not just a text, it is a useful compendium, a comprehensive all-encompassing goldmine ... It will be a welcome addition to the shelves of all who claim any field of environmental science as part of their research or teaching domain. Kudos to the authors for a job well done.' Donald Johnson, Emeritus Professor of Geography, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Book Description
This comprehensive work on all aspects of soils includes introductory chapters on soil morphology, physics, mineralogy and organisms in anticipation of the more advanced analysis of the subject that follows. Replete with hundreds of high-quality figures and a large glossary, its global perspective makes it an invaluable text for anyone studying soils, landforms and landscape change in middle to upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses.
