ABCD springer.com Springer NEWS SEPTEMBER 2007 ABCD springer.com A comprehensive, alphabetical treatment of basic soil science in a single volume! Encyclopedia of Soil Science Ward Chesworth, University of Guelph, ON, Canada (Ed.) 7 Assembles more than 190 key articles by leading authorities from around the world and ca. 430 glossary terms to become the most complete single volume encyclopedia on soil science 7 Includes the following Classifi cations of Soils: FAO; Soil Taxonomy; World Reference Base Employs an Earth-Science approach 7 Packed with full-color illustrations and off ers excellent indices and cross references Soils long have been taken for granted being so commonplace and lacking often striking features. However, soil is one of the most complex media on Earth, vital for the biogeosphere and human civilization. With increased usage of soil for world food production, building materials, waste repositories, etc awareness has grown for the need of better global understanding of soil and its processes. The Encyclopedia of Soil Science provides a comprehensive, alphabetical treatment of basic soil science in a single volume. It constitutes a wide ranging and authorative collection of about 160 academic articles covering the salient aspects of soil physics, chemistry, biology, fertility, technology, genesis, morphology, classifi cation and geomorphology. The longer articles by leading authorities from around the world are being supplemented by ca 430 defi nitions of common terms in soil sciences. It should be emphasized though that the volume is not a dictionary but represents a compendium of knowledge. Graduate students, scientists and professionals, from a wide variety of disciplines and others who deal with the nature, processes and use of soil will have access to essential information and be directed to pertinent specialized literature.
