About this title

From the Publisher:

Mainstream introductory text for the soils course. This text is somewhat higher level than Miller/Donohue in that it goes into greater detail when discussing chemistry. The book is balanced in that it provides broad coverage of the concerns of both the east and the west - should be helpful in selling nationally.
