Editorial : From the Inside Flap Soil Chemistry, 2nd Edition is a thoroughly updated expansion of the author’s highly successful earlier book, linking basic solution and colloidal chemistry, clay mineralogy, and the soil chemistry literature. It describes the major processes of change that soils undergo, including weathering, clay mineral formation, cation retention, and anion and molecular retention. Professors Bohn, McNeal, and O’Connor examine the relationship between these processes and the major problems of soil acidity, salinity, and flooded soils, and provide complete coverage of how these processes and problems interact with, and are affected by, the biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Unique features of the second edition include:
- a new chapter on soil organic matter, providing greater balance between organic and inorganic soil chemistry
- SI units now used as the standard measure
- a chapter of relevant background chemical data to provide a uniform sta
Comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of the basics of soil chemistryAlthough only a meter in depth over the earth's surface, soil is key to sustaining life-affecting air and water quality, the growth of plants and crops, and the health of the entire planet. The complex interplay among organic and inorganic solids, air, water, microorganisms, and plant roots in soil is the subject of Soil Chemistry, a reference pivotal to understanding soil processes and problems.Thoroughly reorganized for ease of use, this updated Third Edition of Soil Chemistry summarizes the important research and fundamental knowledge in the field in a single, readily usable text, including:
- Soil-ion interactions
- Biogeological cycles and pollution
- Water and soil solutions
- Oxidation and reduction
- Inorganic solid phase and organic matter in soil
- Weathering and soil development
- Cation retention (exchange)
- Anion and molecular
Instead, this is a thought provoking book aimed against the popular twenty something zeitgeist today that, "we can do anything", "there's always time", and "I have until 30 to get my life together." Not to mention the million other stories we tell ourselves like, "I'm never going to get good at this", "It's better to wait rather than choose", or "Everyone on Facebook is doing better than me." In a sense, this book is like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" to personal finance. I know books about infidelity or the possibility of makes some people want to shy away, but I thought this book took a really honest approach. The Auditor's go planet side to visit Vorthy's niece Ekaterin and her husband Tien Vorsoisson, who works in terriforming so can give them a tour and information.
Next thing Miles knows he's got an extra body, strange pieces of equipment that's should be among the wreakage, a plot to destroy Barrayar wormhole, murder, bribery, and other mayhem. The only thing I agreed with in
