Accessible to students with varying science backgrounds, this introduction to soil science offers solid coverage of all major topics. The authors use a unique "building the pedon" model to provide students with a single soil concept on which to build and learn. The text features diagrams and colour photographs with actual data, and provides optional chapter supplements for either review or enrichment, depending on individual needs. Soil parts are introduced systematically and in relation to one another, relating the complex soil body to its larger environment.

From the Back Cover:

Now in its fifth edition, Soils: An Introduction provides readers with a fresh approach to the study of soils. Covering all major topics, the text utilizes a unique "building the pedon" model to provide readers with a single soil concept upon which to build and learn. The goal is to help readers understand the parts that contribute to the whole soil individual and then appreciate how those parts function together.

Some of the features of this new edition include:
  • Enhanced discussion of environmental issues.
    ― Puts learning about soils into an environmental context.
  • An emphasis on the correct use of scale in all figures.
    ― Helps readers become aware of the vast range involved, from organisms as small as viruses, to the expanse of landscapes.
  • Focuses on soils as ecosystems, as parts of ecosystems, and as parts of environmental management.
    ― Helps readers to understand how each soil part relates to each other.

Singer and Munns' Soils: An Introduction, fifth edition is a must-have for anyone interested in learning about soils.

Synopsis:
This book emphasizes environmental, as well as agronomic, soil science. It begins with basic soil principles and progressively builds to more complex concepts. Written by actively teaching soil scientists, each chapter includes a variety of learning materials that reinforce all concepts and expand on certain topics. These end-of-chapter supplements also provide any necessary background students may need for their students. Current research information is incorporated throughout this edition of "Soils". It includes expanded coverage of water, soil taxonomy, soil reclamation, and soil pollution, in addition to many new illustrations and figures.
