This edition is a significant update and revision of the classic introductory soils text. The new edition includes even greater coverage of non-agricultural uses of soils ranging from municipal to engineering uses, a new chapter on conservation agriculture covering no-till, hoe-till, and the methodology of cover crops, crop rotations, nitrogen contribution, and worldwide trends in conservation agriculture. Chapters covering the basic scientific aspects of soil from its physical, chemical, and biological properties to basic formation are also thoroughly revised and updated.
