"...written in a clear and concise manner and makes cross-reference between sections to help the reader; it also has a detailed index which is essential in a book of this nature...useful to have on the shelf to pick up when you wish to seek information about soil chemistry."-Stephen Nortcliff, in Experimental Agriculture, Vol. 47 (3)
"...bridges the gap between pure chemistry and soil science and presents soil as a basic entity in a wide range of disciplines."
-Bulletin of the International Society of Soil Science
"Included in this text are many interesting historic details and other items of information usually overlooked in most recent highly focused textbooks...provides interesting and...useful background and supplementary reading for any course in soil chemistry...a valuable addition to all soils libraries, both public and private."
