A Fun, Readable, and Thorough Introduction to Soil Science, June 11, 2002 Reviewer: Amber Kerr, Berkeley, CA, USA My "Science of Soils" class at Stanford University (Autumn ' 01) used "The Nature and Properties of Soils" as our main textbook. It is clearly written, easy to read, and has lots of helpful figures (including graphs, diagrams, drawings, and black-and-white and color photos). The chapters are well organized, so that you can find exactly what you need to know. The authors include hundreds of websites for those who want more information, and make the book more readable by starting off each chapter with a quote and a "big picture" statement. "The Nature and Properties of Soils" has a good mix of theoretical and practical information. Wherever possible, the authors do sample calculations and describe applications for agriculture, ecology, and engineering. They thoroughly cover every major topic in soil science, as well as delving into some more specialized ones (for example, symptoms of micronutrient deficiencies in plants). In conclusion, I' ve found this textbook to be both very information-rich and very readable, and highly recommend it.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (1,974)
- s***r (52)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe price was perfectly reasonable for the product, and the book arrived promptly and in great condition—like new, as described: the slightest bit of noticeable use and that was it. The seller wrapped it in literally 6 layers of protection (cardboard, bubble wrap, waterproof, etc.), which seemed like overkill but was much appreciated. My wife was so impressed that she demanded I leave a positive review immediately—and she was right. I’d be happy to do business with this seller again.
- m***_ (363)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe seller shipped the book quickly, tracked for added security and it arrived on time. Around 3 weeks which isn't bad at all. The book was exactly as advertised by the seller. I had no problem comunicating with the seller, he answered all my questions. He also packed the book very well so it wouldn't get damaged during shipping. It arrived as good as new. I'm very satisfied, the seller showed a very customer friendly /professional attitude. Hence my 5/5 positive feedback to him.Engineering a Compiler by Linda Torczon and Keith Cooper (2011, Hardcover) (#176727972484)
