Editorial Reviews
Review
"[R]eaders are provided with excellent descriptions of cultivation methods for soil preservation, significant research data, and substantial information on the effects of tillage on specific soils. … University libraries and special libraries focusing on agriculture, agroecosystems, soils, or agencies working with rural communities would benefit from adding this volume to their collection. The chapter outlines, combined with substantial current references and an excellent index, make the book organized and easy to use … ." - Journal of Agricultural and Food Information, Vol. 5, No. 1, 2003 "[I]t is very broad in its coverage of topics with extensive literature reviews for most chapters.
