An outstanding book on soils for amateurs and professionals alike
By Michael W. Wilpers "Adult Ecology student" - March 26, 2009I am an adult student in a 13-course Natural History curriculim run by the local Audubon society and the USDA. Of all the soils books I have sampled, this one provides the greatest depth and range and seemingly endless new avenues for appreciation and discovery. It's a lifetime investment for a life-time of learning. The new price is very steep, so it's worth waiting for a used copy to become available at a reasonable price.
A long time coming!
By T. Jackson - July 11, 2007This book was begging to be written for the longest time. Thank goodness Randy went ahead and did it. The book fills a void in soil science by linking soil formation and geomorphology, an obvious connection. It is well-written in terms of organization and style. I can tell that Randy certainly enjoys studying soils, as his enthusiasm pours off the pages. Not only that, but he and his co-author clearly have the knowledge and background to put forth such a work.
I recommend this book for anyone interested in soils, but especially for a college-level text book for any soils-related course.
Simply the best
By Stephen M. Roecker - October 8, 2011Simply the best book on Soil Genesis and Geomorphology. Compared to other books on the subject, this one not only provides greater depth but is also better organized and illustrated. The superb synthesis of information will make this a useful book for both students of Soil Science and related disciplines. Typically to get a full picture of Soil Genesis and Geomorphology, as presented in this book, one would have to reference multiple books and journal articles.
Hopefully this book will become THE standard for courses on Soil Genesis and Geomorphology. Typically Soil Genesis is taught in conjunction with Soil Classification, rather than Soil Geomorphology. Therefore such courses (and books) cover similar information on Soil Genesis, but lectures (and chapters) are organized around the higher taxonomic classes (Soil Orders), instead of soil processes such as in this book. Soil Classification is an important aspect of Soil Science. Therefore, this book provides a thorough... read more
