Teaching Earth Sciences <!--end-->
"...a key text in its field providing us with considerable
substance to understand and teach this topic."
TENews, 14 June 2005 <!--end-->
"...builds on the success of the two previous successful
editions. These have long been the mainstay for students of soil
erosion and conservation. The Book states, 'a thorough
understanding of the processes of erosion and their controlling
factors is a prerequisite for designing erosion control measures on
a sound scientific basis wherever they are needed. The aim of
producing a text with a global perspective on research and practice
is also retained"...) The book does admirably achieve its mission
and is written in a clear and comprehensible style."
European Society for Soil Conservation Newsletter, August
2005
"...an...admirable text built on the author's 35 years of
research and teaching. The book is intended for both undergraduates
and postgraduates studying soil erosion and conservation as parts
of courses in agriculture, engineering and various branches of
geography and environmental science. It is likely also to remain a
valuable companion for them as they move into professional roles as
conservation officers, civil and agricultural engineers and
environmental consultants the world over. If you fall into any of
these classess then buy it...I strongly recommend it."
European Journal of Soil Science, November 2005
"The book is clearly organized and well-written...The material
helps both students and practitioners to learn and enhance their
knowledge on erosion control and soil conservation practice...this
is a fine book that can only be recommended further."
Environmental Geology, June 2006
"The third edition of this internationally recognized textbook
will be invaluable to upper-level and graduate students."
Biotechnology, Agronomy, Society and Environment
"Professor Roy Morgan's third edition of Soil Erosion and
Conservation is an authoritative, well-researched and
accessible contribution to the study of soil erosion and its
control."
