This book is about the progressive “footprints? made by scientists in the soil. It contains chapters chosen from important topics in the development of soil science, and tells the story of the people and the exciting ideas that contributed to our present understanding of soils.  Initiated by discussions within the Soil Science Society of America and the International Union of Soil Sciences, this book uniquely illustrates the significance of soils to our society. It is planned for soils students, for various scientific disciplines, and for members of the public who show an increasing interest in soil.  This book allows us to answer the questions:  “How do we know what we know about soils?? and “How did one step or idea lead to the next one??The chapters are written by an international group of authors, each with special interests, bound together by the central theme of soils and how we came to our present understanding of soils. Each concentrate on soil knowledge in the western world and draw primarily on written accounts available in English and European languages.  Academics, graduate students, researchers and practitioners will gain new insights from these studies of how ideas in soil science and understanding of uses of soils developed.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSECTION 1: Early Understanding of Soils\u003cbr\u003eSECTION 2: Soil as a Natural Body\u003cbr\u003eSECTION 3: Soil Properties and Processes\u003cbr\u003eSECTION 4: Soil Uses and Users\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Landscape gardening [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Landscape gardening\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Landscape%20gardening%20%5BWMQL%5D%22\"\u003eWMQL\u003c\/a\u003e], Applied ecology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Applied ecology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Applied%20ecology%20%5BRNC%5D%22\"\u003eRNC\u003c\/a\u003e], Soil science, sedimentology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Soil science, sedimentology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Soil%20science,%20sedimentology%20%5BRBGB%5D%22\"\u003eRBGB\u003c\/a\u003e], Ecological science, the Biosphere [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Ecological science, the Biosphere\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Ecological%20science,%20the%20Biosphere%20%5BPSAF%5D%22\"\u003ePSAF\u003c\/a\u003e], History: specific events \u0026amp; topics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History: specific events \u0026amp; topics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History:%20specific%20events%20\u0026amp;%20topics%20%5BHBT%5D%22\"\u003eHBT\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45912969871640,"sku":"9780444521774","price":42.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780444521774.jpg?v=1694980012"},{"product_id":"land-restoration-reclaiming-landscapes-for-a-sustainable-future-hardback-9780128012314","title":"Land Restoration; Reclaiming Landscapes for a Sustainable Future (Hardback) 9780128012314","description":"\u003cfont face=\"Georgia\"\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"6\"\u003eLand Restoration\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cfont size=\"5\"\u003eReclaiming Landscapes for a Sustainable Future\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cp\u003eAddresses solutions to land restoration and related topics, such as human security, development, and water and air pollution, providing practical on-the-ground examples\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003eIlan Chabay (Edited by), Martin Frick (Edited by), Jennifer Helgeson (Edited by)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e9780128012314, Elsevier Science\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eHardback, published 27 November 2015\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e598 pages\u003cbr\u003e23.4 x 19 x 3.3 cm, 1.41 kg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLand Restoration: Reclaiming Landscapes for a Sustainable Future\u003c\/i\u003e provides a holistic overview of land degradation and restoration in that it addresses the issue of land restoration from the scientific and practical development points of view.
