Reviews"...This text would make a valuable reference book for anyone working with soils in an environment context. The undertaking of this book by the author greatly serves a new age of environmental soil scientist. Environmental awareness is at its highest level ever and it is nice to have a leading scientist in his field cater to pertinent issues. This is a fine example of traditional subject matter being modernized to address current and relevant global issues." --JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY "Hillel offers an authoritative account of the physical properties of soil and its role in both natural and managed ecosystems." --CHOICE, "The material presented in Environmental Soil Physics forms a solid soil physics text...This text would [also] make a valuable reference book for anyone working with soils in an environmental context." -Journal of Environmental Quality "This book would be an excellent text book to support a specialist soil physics course and, from the non-physicist's point of view, it has much to offer as an illustration of both the breadth of the subject and of what it can offer other disciplines." -Biological Agriculture and Horticulture

SynopsisEnvironmental Soil Physics is a completely updated and modified edition of the Daniel Hillels previous, successful books, Introduction to Soil Physics and Fundamentals of Soil Physics. Hillel is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, one of the true leaders in the field of environmental sciences. The new version includes a chapter and problems on computational techniques, addresses current environmental concerns and trends. * Updates and expands the scope of Hillel's prior works, Fundamentals of Soil Physics (1980)and Applications of Soil Physics (1980) * Explores the wide range of interactions among the phases in the soil and the dynamic interconnections of the soil with the subterranean and atmospheric domains * Draws attention to historical and contemporary issues concerning the human management of soil and water resources * Directs readers toward solution of practical problems in terrestrial ecology, field-scale hydrology, agronomy, and civil engineering * Incorporates contributions by leading scientists in the areas of spatial variability, soil remediation, and the inclusion of land-surface processes in global climate models, Environmental Soil Physics is a completely updated and modified edition of the Daniel Hillels previous, successful books, Introduction to Soil Physics and Fundamentals of Soil Physics .
