CRC Press, 2002.– 403pp. ISBN 0849308372.
The book contains nine chapters addressing most significant topics of contemporary soil physics. The chapter authors are leading scientists and recognized authorities on their respective topics. Information from the Handbook of Soil Science is augmented with example boxes to add flavor and interest. These additions include problems, further descriptions and historical backgrounds. In cases where more information is desired, current references are provided for an entry into the vast literature available.
Soil physics includes the descriptions of the physical aspects of the soil system and of transport processes. The usual physical setting is at or just below the soil surface, but most of the concepts and descriptions are valid to all depths and for all similar geological and extraterrestrial materials. Included are descriptions of new devices useful for measurements at the Earth’s surface and reaching into the vadose zone
