Soils: Genesis and Geomorphology, a text and treatise of broad emphasis, is intended for course instruction in mid-level to upper-level undergraduate and graduate level courses in soils, pedology, and geomorphology. It is also intended as an excellent resource for the researcher and, I might add, the "earth" consultant.
