From the Inside Flap
The guiding purpose behind revisions for this 9th edition was to update and streamline the book without losing the thoroughness and readability it inherited from the senior author. Changes in content reflect the recent changes in soil taxonomy, the wealth of information in new on-line databases, and the strong interest in soil quality and sustainability. Dozens of new photos, figures, and tables have been added. An even larger number of older ones have been updated or eliminated. The resulting text is leaner (with fewer pages overall) and greener (placing greater emphasis on environmental integrity). More of the popular soil-related human interest stories have been included—for example: how political pressures threaten the family farm, how soil conditions affect cemeteries in New Orleans, and why a fungus in a Michigan forest should be counted among the world's largest organisms. Various sites on the Internet are referenced for readers seeking additional information. The tremendous value of these sites seems to outweigh the danger that their ephemeral nature may leave them inaccessible within a short time. As with previous editions of the book, this edition was written for students of agricultural and environmental sciences, preferably in the middle years of their undergraduate college experience. I sincerely hope that students and instructors find the book to be both functionally useful and intellectually engaging. Please e-mail your comments to duane.gardiner@tamuk.
