Recenzii

From the reviews:
“This book is an introductory course resource for soil science curricula. … This work is unique in that more emphasis is placed on soil management than in many introductory soils textbooks. The global context provided is also worth noting. The style is clear, and the text is generally easy to read … . Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals.” (J. R. Reeve, Choice, Vol. 50 (11), July, 2013)
