Soils and Soil Fertility, 6th Edition

"The sixth edition of Soils and Soil Fertility provides a thorough introduction to soil science as well as the fundamentals of soil fertility, and is an appropriate text for undergraduate students in agricultural and/or environmental sciences...Each chapter is well organized...and features boldface subheadings to assist in quickly locating topics of interest...In summary, this textbook is comprehensive, readable, and does not bog down in vernacular or complex reference tables. Thus, it is an ideal choice for support of an introductory soil science course." M.J.Schlossberg, Dept. of Crop and Soil Sciences, The Pennsylvania State University in the Journal of Environmental Quality Volume 34, No. 6, November-December 2005.

"Soils and Soil Fertility by Troeh and Thompson would be an excellent textbook for soils and related classes. This is a very intelligent book full of supportive black and white illustrations within the text. Although designed as a textbook, gardeners and enthusiasts may enjoy reading this text for information and a better understanding of soil properties and soil fertility." Dr Lee Luckeydoo, Eastern New Mexico University in SIDA: Contributions to Botany Volume 22, Issue 1, 2006.
