Product Description
Soil Science and Management, fifth edition emphasizes the human interaction with and effect on soils, rather than treating the soil as an independent element. Non-technical and easy-to-understand, Soil Science and Management, fifth edition teaches the essentials of soils from the perspective of farmers, horticulturalists, environmentalists and other who are concerned about how soils work and how they are used more effectively. An emphasis on management and the sustainable use of soil and water resources makes it especially relevant to these audiences. The inclusion of nutrient management, best practices and relevant legal issues and government programs make this text a practical application for readers. Four-color illustrations have been added through-out the text, making it a much more visually appealing book.

What a boring topic, you may think. Who could write a thick book about soil? And who possibly can read it? You may be surprised! If your interest is in the field of landscape architecture, horticulture, forestry, gardening, site engineering e.g. this book will give you a professional knowledge, in a very systematic, approachable way. I will keep Soil Science in my professional library as a reference book.

This was my college textbook for Soils. This book was extremely interesting. I've used it as a reference for other classes + I'm and arborist. This book is costly, but well worth the $$.

I am using this book as a textbook for a Soil Nutrition class. The book is surprisingly interesting considering it is a textbook. It is an excellent reference for soil and soil/plant nutrition questions.
 marked book wrong February 25, 2010
D. Jensen
When I was looking for this book I was under the impression that this was #5. I would not have purchased this book if I had known it was #2. It was not marked correctly on the page thet I bought it from. I am a student with very limited income and was forced to drop the class because I didn't recieve the correct book and ordering another one would have been to late for my studies. I have bookmarked where I bought this book from and will not buy from there again.
