EDAPHOS:
Dynamics Of A Natural Soil System 2nd Edition
Paul D. Sachs
Softcover, 206 pages, $14.95
If you have ever wondered why the soil and plants respond the way they do to the many different treatments we apply, then EDAPHOS is the book for you. Author Paul Sachs spent sixteen years studying soil system dynamics and translated it all into a non-technical, non-boring book for anyone interested in knowing the finer details of how the soil system works. This book covers and connects the often difficult to understand subjects of soil chemistry, soil biology and soil physics (to name only a few) into an interesting and very clear story of how the soil machine runs.
