Add to basketZustandsbeschreibung: leicht bestoßen/slightly bumped. 1861 to 2024. Edited by Carmelo Dazzi, Anna Benedetti, Giuseppe Corti and Edoardo A. C. Costantini. History is generally defined as "the study of past events, particularly in human affairs" and is mostly understood when presented chronologically. That?s why someone also defined it as the 'chronological record of the past'. Knowing the past is extremely important for any society and human being. Past gives us insights into our evolving behavior in many matters of life. The book is seen as a unique opportunity to preserve the memory of the Italian history of soil science. It represents a milestone and a cultural heritage. Moreover, the book is a sort of ideal bridge between the pioneers of soil science in Italy and the young generation of researchers, contributing to spreading awareness of the importance of soil as a fundamental resource. XX,676 Seiten mit 328 Farb- und 28 s/w-Abb., gebunden (Springer 2024). Statt EUR 40,65. Gewicht: 2327 g - Gebunden/Gebundene Ausgabe.
