Simplified but not simplistic!  2007-02-07
This is a great first book on this subject for people of all ages from junior high to retirees (me)! I was looking for a book that would help me understand soil surveys. Thi book was a perfect solution.
If you have ever tried to read a book on geology (the base of soil science) you may have been overwhelmed by the breadth of detail. Young people would be especially prone to this since they probably have not had chemistry or physics. This book will get you through most of this. Can't imagine how it could be improved. Just loaded with interesting material. Highly recommended. If interested in soil and don't know a lot about it already - then get it.
Soil Science Simplified  2005-08-10
The book was for a soil science class I was taking. The text seems to be translated from another language, as the sentence structure is very difficult in many places. This is a "beginner's" text, and as such was useful.
Read it twice 2004-02-25
As they say, don't judge a book by its cover. At first glance, this paperback book appears to be a lightweight study guide. Upon reading it, however, you will find it to contain a mountain of technical information. Every page offers so many relevant details that you will need to read it twice, just to absorb them all. Fortunately, it is not written in a dry, jargonistic manner. As the title implies, the scientific principles involved are simplified for easier digestion and application. This makes the information all the more useful. And although it is not a full-fledged textbook, a prospective reader will still benefit from having a basic knowledge of chemistry before opening this book, because it is not a kids' book either. Take some notes as you read, and you will find it be a real learning experience.
This book was very helpful  2002-12-15
I really liked this book. I could look through it and find exactlly what I was looking for without having to even read what the chapter was. It was very useful because of my science projet. I had to do a research paper and it was very hard to find information that I could understand but this book was very clear.
beginner soil science 2000-02-24
This book is great for somebody just starting out in soil science. It explains the basics of soil science very well. I would also recommend this book for anybody interested in learning more about the concepts behind agriculture. Although the entire book may not apply to agriculture, it is completely enriching non-the-less!
