Book excerpt: This is a discount Black and white version. Some images may be unclear, please see BCCampus website for the digital version.This book was born out of a 2014 meeting of earth science educators representing most of the universities and colleges in British Columbia, and nurtured by a widely shared frustration that many students are not thriving in courses because textbooks have become too expensive for them to buy. But the real inspiration comes from a fascination for the spectacular geology of western Canada and the many decades that the author spent exploring this region along with colleagues, students, family, and friends. My goal has been to provide an accessible and comprehensive guide to the important topics of geology, richly illustrated with examples from western Canada. Although this text is intended to complement a typical first-year course in physical geology, its contents could be applied to numerous other related courses.

This book was released on 1941 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nutritional value of such inorganic elements as calcium, phosphorus, iodine, copper, and iron has been demonstrated by many investigators, and it is generally recognized that quantitative variations of these elements in foods and feeds are important factors in human and animal health. These and other mineral elements, especially those occurring in trace amounts, are receiving greatly increased attention in both popular and scientific literature dealing with soils, fertilizers, plant growth and composition, food quality, and animal and human health and nutrition.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soils are affected by human activities, such as industrial, municipal and agriculture, that often result in soil degradation and loss. In order to prevent soil degradation and to rehabilitate the potentials of degraded soils, reliable soil data are the most important prerequisites for the design of appropriate land-use systems and soil management practices as well as for a better understanding of the environment. The availability of reliable information on soil morphology and other characteristics obtained through examination and description of the soil in the field is essential, and the use of a common language is of prime importance. These guidelines, based on the latest internationally accepted systems and classifications, provide a complete procedure for soil description and for collecting field data. To help beginners, some explanatory notes are included as well as keys based on simple test and observations.--Publisher's description.

This book was released on with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book "Soil: The Dynamic Nexus of Life, Science, and Sustainability", with two parts in it, seeks to challenge the notion that soil is merely a dirt. Through an exploration of its intricate complexities and vital roles, it aims to enlighten readers about the profound significance of soil in our lives, that is not mere dirt but full of life. Part I of this book provides comprehensive information and insights covering various aspects of soil including its pedogenesis, classification, properties, profile, types, structure, fertility, and its roles in supporting ecosystems and agricultural practices for effective soil conservation and sustainable management. Additionally, it explores the roles of soil in carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling, water filtration, and supporting diverse microbial communities. With detailed procedures and methodologies in Part II, the book equips readers with practical knowledge for conducting soil analysis, including measurements of pH, moisture, organic matter, electrical conductivity, cation exchange capacity, macro and micronutrients determination, texture, bulk density, buffering capacity, respiration, enzyme activity and microbial biomass. This book will serve as a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in managing and appreciating the intricate world beneath our feet. Keywords: Soil – pedogenesis, classification, profile, types, properties, fertility, ecosystem services; determination of soil – pH, moisture, electrical conductivity (EC), cation exchange capacity (CEC), macro and micro nutrients, texture, buffering capacity, enzyme activity, microbial biomass, aggregate stability, bulk density, respiration
