| Abstract
|
:
|
"Soils: Genesis and Geomorphology is a comprehensive and accessible textbook on all aspects of soils. The book's introductory chapters on soil morphology, physics, mineralogy, and organisms prepare the reader for the more advanced treatment that follows. This refreshingly readable text takes a truly global perspective. Replete with hundreds of high quality figures and a large glossary, the book will be invaluable for anyone studying soils, landforms, and landscape change at the mid- to upper-level undergraduate and graduate level. It will also be an invaluable reference text for researchers."--Jacket.
