It is organized in a studentfriendly format with examples, discussion boxes, and key definitions in every chapter.The book provides students of geology, physical science, and environmental studies with fundamental information and tools for meeting the natural resource challenges of the 21st century, while providing students of soil science and ecology with the understanding of physical and biological interactions necessary for sustainability. First textbook to unite soil science and the environment beyond what is traditionally taught Incorporates current knowledge of such hot topics as climate change, pollution control, human expropriation of natural resources, and the prospects for harmonious and sustainable development Organized in a studentfriendly format with examples, discussion boxes, and key definitions in every chapter Full color throughout
