5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for soil students
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI literally owe my first class degree to this book along with Ellis and Mellor's. If you study soil and you don't have this book yet, get it!Soils and Environment (Routledge Physical Environment)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book
Verified PurchaseI erased my old review to rewrite it but I lent out the book so I can thoroughly review it now. But this book has everything you could want to know as an introduction to the physical and chemical properties of soils, with soil formation and classification. I'll rewrite this review later on but this book is so amazing that I think everyone should read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is easy to read and has lovely pictures to help explain ...
Verified PurchaseI am using this textbook for my Soils class. It is easy to read and has lovely pictures to help explain topics. I haven't used it as much as I should for the class, but it is helpful when I do. Which probably means I should probably read it some more... :)
I ordered this book in loose-leaf form and it works perfectly. I have it in a binder with my lab manual. Don't be afraid to save money!
