Offers a perspective on soils as earth materials, which establishes a pedological hierarchy of materials, processes and factors, and their rationalization in terms of plate tectonics. The book should interest soil and earth scientists.

Seller: Zoar Books & Gallery, Rowe, MA, U.S.A.
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 6" X 9", 213 pages. Illustrated. This important book challenges the prevalent view of the characteristics and origins of soils. In it, three distinguished earth scientists argue that soils are primarily geological materials altered and rearranged by biological, geological, and geomorphic processes rather than as direct products of time, climate, organisms, parent material, and topographic setting. In adopting an earth science approach ( including insights from plate tectonics), the book provides a new model of soils formation that has worldwide applicability. Minor notes and underlining with pencil. # pages dog-eared. Bottom corner has a tiny curl. Seller Inventory # 003802
