While retaining the useful \"factors of soil formation format,\" it has been extensively revised, incorporating a considerable amount of new research and offering a greater number of topics and examples -- particularly in the chapters \"Weathering and Soil Development with Time\" and \"Topography: Soil Relations with Time in Different Climatic Settings.\" Greater emphasis is placed on the role of dust in pedogenesis, and new data are included on tropical soil development, global soil-loess relations, neotectonics, and reduction processes. The text discusses field applications such as the use of soils in recognizing climate change, estimating the age of geological deposits, and dealing with environmental problems such as acid rain. New \"how-to\" appendices on soil descriptions and calculating the profile development index are also included. \u003cem\u003eSoils and Geomorphology\u003c\/em\u003e is an ideal text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in courses on pedology, soil science, Quaternary geology, archeology, and sedimentary petrology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Birkeland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195078861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195078862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.54w x 0.84d","brand":"Peter Birkeland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43914185965823,"sku":"9780195078862","price":182.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1b808a89-358b-4602-b9e3-610618bf29c6.jpg?v=1680640834","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/soils-and-geomorphology-peter-birkeland-9780195078862","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
