Pearson The Nature and Properties of Soils Paperback – January 1, 2022

Oh my goodness! The study of dirt! It reads like a novel, it flows like a river, it's exciting as a blockbuster movie! This will be one of the best books about dirt you have ever read. It is in my personal top 20 favorite books about dirt. Bonus: Pictures of dirt! If you don't have any dirt by now - get some!

This exhaustive text on soils and their development is surprisingly readable. Maps, pictures and charts are included, and the information is organized in such a way that the non-specialist can easily understand the information presented. My only complaint: the index is incomplete, so it can be difficult to look up specific topics.

If you want to know all about soil this is the book you need! It is well written, intelligently arranged and jam packed with all the knowledge one needs to know about ones yard. farm or neighborhood. I keep it close by for constant reference.

Most of the book seems like it was never updated from the first edition. But is a nice review of soils. If you are not using it for class questions a older edition is well worth the savings.

This is supposed to be only sold in India..I didn’t realize until I received it

A very thourogh and great reference book about soils. Clear language with ample illustrations throughout. A staple for any burgeoning scientist or person wishing to expand their knowledge on soils.

The information presented in the book is very good even for a beginner. The only complaint I have is that all the pictures are in black and white, and somewhat poor quality.

Some of the links do not work any more because the book is older -- but still! great stuff.
