"Overall, and without a doubt, the second edition of this book is
an excellent textbook for intermediate to advanced undergraduate
and graduate students in soil chemistry and biogeochemistry, as
well as a useful reference for academics and professionals working
in the areas of soil, biogeochemistry, hydrology, and related
environmental sciences."--Vadose Zone Journal
Reviews of prior edition
"Inclusion of this text in one's personal library is a must because
of the wealth of useful reference material and well-developed
examples of soil chemical phenomena."-Soil Science
"A very useful resource for advanced undergraduates and graduate
students in environmental science, hydrology, agriculture, and
related."-CHOICE
"The book can be recommended for everyone with an interest in soil
science . . . . It will enable students to rapidly become familiar
with modern methods of treating problems in soil science. The style
and presentation of the book are exemplary." -International
Chemistry
"This well written book can be highly recommended to all students
and scientists who are interested in soil science, hydrology and
environmental research" -Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science
"The Chemistry of Soils is a well written and concise treatise on
soil chemistry, clearly targeted at the intermediate student of
this discipline. However, it contains insightful discussion of a
number of topics of interest to all students of surficial
geochemical processes and is a useful addition to all students,
academics and professionals working in those areas." -Geochemica et
Cosmochimica Acta
