Book Synopsis Essential Soil Science by : Mark Ashman
Download or read book Essential Soil Science written by Mark Ashman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook is aimed at the majority of students, who need to quickly acquire a concise overview of soil science. Many current soil science textbooks still cater for a traditional student market where students embark on three years study in a narrow discipline. The growth in modular degree schemes has meant that soil science is now often taught as self-standing unit as part of broad based degree program. Students pursuing this type of course are increasingly reluctant to purchase expensive textbooks that are too detailed and often assume a scientific background. For those opting to specialise in soil science there are a variety of good textbooks to choose from. This short informative guide, will be particularly useful for students who do not possess a traditional scientific background, such as those studying geography, environment science, ecology and agriculture. Only textbook to cater for introductory courses in soil science. Provides an affordable concise overview of soil science. Learning exercises and chapter summaries enhance usability. Annotated suggestions for further reading. Based on proven and successful modular course structure. Emphasis on readability and interactive learning. No scientific background assumed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a concise, yet comprehensive modern introduction to soil science and describes the development of soils, their characteristics and their material composition as well as their functions in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Soil functions include the delivery of goods and services for the human society, such as food, clean water, and the maintenance of biodiversity. The book is profusely illustrated with many coloured figures and tables to accompany the text and ease its understanding. Particularly the chapter on soil classification, based on the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB), features numerous colour pictures of typical soil profiles to facilitate understanding the characteristics of particular soil types. Chapters on soil protection and remediation and soil monitoring and the history of soil sciences conclude the book together with a very comprehensive alphabetical index, allowing for a quick and easy orientation about the most important terms in soil sciences. The book addresses all those, who want to orient themselves about soils, their functions, their importance in terrestrial and aquatic environments and their contribution to the actual and future development of the human society, such as teachers, practitioners and students in the fields of agriculture, forestry, gardening, terrestrial and aquatic ecology and environmental engineering, and of course, beginning students of soil science. “Essentials of Soil Science” is an updated English edition of the highly valued German textbook „Bodenkunde in Stichworten” (now in its 7th edition), which was conceived in 1969 as a standard text in soil science for universities, high schools and all kinds of learned institutions related to soil science and its applications, including practitioners in agriculture, forestry, landscape planning and architecture and users of soil in engineering and other areas. For classroom use, Borntraeger (http://www.borntraeger-cramer.de/9783443010904) offers classroom sets of 10 and 20 copies which you may order through your bookstore or directly online by following the respective link.
