Recenzii
'The book is richly illustrated with numerous colour photographs of soil profiles and the landscapes in which they occur, pedogenic features such as concretions and stone lines, subterranean fungus gardens and spectacular termite mounds. … a book that will appeal to students and professional scientists alike, one that is destined to be the definitive text on South African soils for many years to come.' Experimental Agriculture
