Book Description

Principles of Soil Physics examines the impact of the physical, mechanical, and hydrological properties and processes of soil on agricultural production, the environment, and sustainable use of natural resources. The text incorporates valuable assessment methods, graphs, problem sets, and tables from recent studies performed around the globe and offers an abundance of tables, photographs, and easy-to-follow equations in every chapter. The book discusses the consequences of soil degradation, such as erosion, inhibited root development, and poor aeration. It begins by defining soil physics, soil mechanics, textural properties, and packing arrangements . The text continues to discuss the theoretical and practical aspects of soil structure and explain the significance and measurement of bulk density, porosity, and compaction. The authors proceed to clarify soil hydrology topics including hydrologic cycle, water movement, infiltration, modeling, soil evaporation, and solute transport processes. They address the impact of soil temperature on crop growth, soil aeration, and the processes that lead to the emission of greenhouse gases. The final chapters examine the physical properties of gravelly soils and water movement in frozen, saline, and water-repellant soils. Reader-friendly and up-to-date, Principles of Soil Physics provides unparalleled coverage of issues related to soil physics, structure, hydrology, aeration, temperature, and analysis and presents practical techniques for maintaining soil quality to ultimately preserve its sustainability.

Book Description

The new edition of a bestseller, Water Flows in Soils bridges the fields of soil physics-where descriptions of water flow tend to be microscopic- and hydrology - where they tend to be macroscopic. This work conveys the fundamental concepts of water flow in soils with clear and essentially nonmathematical explanations. The author elegantly elucidates the basic and advanced principles of water movement in soils. More than 750 figures, tables, and equations provide a concrete image of the water flow phenomena in soils. Tightly focused and packed with examples, the book is a practical resource for graduate students of agriculture and environmental engineering, and researchers in soil physics.

The genetics bible.......2004-11-25

Its almost useless to write a review for this book. If you're in genetics, then you know this book's reputation to be of the very highest order. It is THE introduction into quantitative genetics. I have it on my desk and use it as a reference constantly when trying to figure out evolutionary genetics and/or quantitative genetics papers.

Quantitative fish.......2000-01-19

This is an excellent book, that content the basic of the quantitative genetic and provide a comprehensive interpretation of the genetic action and interaction. Its price give the possibility the student having his own copy to introduce to a simple and deep view of the quantitative genetic.

The bible of quantitative genetics.......2005-07-17

This book can tell you everything you always wanted to know about quantiutative genetics but never had anyone to ask to.

It starts with an introduction to population dynamics and them passes to the study of quantitative traits and their properties (such as variance, heritability, etc.) with a deep mathematical analysis that can be sometimes tiresome (but necessary to really understand what is going on).

The most interesting part however are the last chapters on selection and QTL where the theories of Mendel and Darwin meet the quantitative genetics set of equations and concepts.

Better read if accompanied by articles on the subject and with the help of someone more experienced (specially for the math). A knowledge of statistcs is mandatory as well as notions of genetics.

Very inspriring.......2007-07-17

I had been trying to become a runner on my own but was unsuccessful. After reading this book, I discovered I was doing a lot of things wrong. Jeff Galloway's direct approach and positive writing inspired me to become consistent with my running program.

I hate running.......2007-05-18

I thought that running was the most boring sport on the planet. I was more of a sprinter short term running sport person. For some reason I picked up this book and became enthralled by it. It made me understand the mechnaics of running and why Mr. Galloway loves it. To the point now where I run every other day, I look in the book to determine what I need to do before race day, what to eat etc. In essence love the book and I was not a runner until I read this book.

Perfect for beginners.......2007-05-09

As the title of this book says, this is the perfect book for you if you have been bitten by the running bug and you want to start properly.

Realistic and Motivations.......2007-01-31

I have been a mid-level runner for a while (run for fitness and participate in some 5K's through the year but nothing more). When I became pregnant with my second child, I did not keep up with my running schedule and lost a lot of the endurance that I once had. As such, I was looking for a motivational tool to get back on track, as well as a fitness plan to get my body back into the shape that it once was.
This book did both for me: it kept my mind motivated to keep going, and it also set out a fitness/excercise plan that started slow and kept my body motivated. Galloway pushes hard on the idea of "slow and steady" vs. "hard and fast". Too many runners give up quickly because they try to go too fast too soon and they get burned out. Galloway covers all aspects of running for beginners and does a fabulous job with it. The chapters are short and there are nice color photos and check lists to keep the reading interesting. I rate it an A+ and an must have for any beginner runner or someone who has been out of the loop for a while and looking for some motivation to get back into the swing of things.

Running: Getting Started.......2005-07-21

This is the best book for beginning runners I have ever read.

It sets out a reasonable, attainable schedule for those who have never run before. It also gives good advice regarding nutrition and equipment.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in beginning a running program, especially first-timers.

They're ready for love.

They're turning Seventeen. . .

Customer Reviews:

Can she really get ANY guy?.......2002-09-26

The first in the Turning Seventeen series. These books focus around 4 best friends: Kerri, Jessica, Maya, and Erin. This book focuses around Kerri. Kerri is beautiful and outgoing. Her friends believe she can get any guy she wants. Only problem the guy she wants is taken. But then Kerri finds out that the guy she wants, Matt, is now available. Maya is very shy about guys so Kerri gives her advice to get a guy to ask her out. So Erin decides to make a bet to see if Kerri can put her money where her mouth is. The bet is that Kerri has one week to get Matt to ask her out. So Kerri accepts. What will happen?

This was an excellent book. My favorite of the whole series. The book was well written and engulfing. Kerri+Matt=YEAH!!!

A well-written young adult book.......2002-09-25

I enjoyed the characters and the situations in this young adult novel. The author touched upon some pretty sensitive subjects. I could relate to how frustrating it can be to be seventeen and in love! When Kerri makes a bet with her friends, daring her to ask a guy out, she finally wins. She asks Matt out on a date and their relationship blooms until their love is shattered by an ugly rumor. When Kerri's friend, Maya, is attacked by a male acquaintance, Kerri urges her friend to go to the police and report the crime. Kerri is also struggling with her decision regarding her absentee father. Should she contact him since he's removed himself from her life all these years? This book was a good, fast read! I kept turning those pages until I reached the end! I'd highly recommend this book to any person who enjoys YA fiction!

a WeLl WrItTeN sToRyLiNe!!.......2001-07-18

This book was by far one of the best books I have read. This author writes very well of how a teen girl is going through a rough time in her adolesent life. It talks about how the girl named Kerri & her three other best friends, Jessica, Maya, & Erin. Although this book mainly talks about Kerri's part. Her three friends believe that since she is a cheerleader and great looking, she can get any guy she wants. She can get any guy she wants but the only problem is is that there is one guy she can't get, the one she wants! So Erin desides to place a bet. On Kerri getting the guy, which is Matt.So the loser has to pay for pizza at Bernie's Pizza. So she accepts the challenge. Soon enough they are together. And Kerri begins to fell that Matt really is the one. Whenever she is around him, she feels chemistry between them. And she believes he feels the same way. Until he finds out about the bet. Big mistake! Now he believes she just went out with him because of some bet. While on the other hand, she hears from her absentee father. Who after leaving her family after seven years contacts her. If that didn't make it worse, since Maya liked this guy named T.J. Kerri had pushed her to go out with him. Well it worked, but the REALLY BAD thing is he tryed to hurt her. He broke the law of sexual assault. And she & her other friends had also gotten into a fight. Now Kerri's life is just a big mess. With love problems, family problems, and friend problems. This is just too much for a girl to handle. So to find out what happens read this book about a teen who is going through the thoughest time in her life.

AWESOME.......2001-02-25

this was an awesome book. it really made me want to keep reading the series. they were all awesome too. this book is so real, and honest, and it really explores the way teens feel. i hope kerri and matt stay together, and that all the books to come are this awesome!!!!!

I absolutely loved it!.......2007-06-13

What a traitor this author must be. Reading this I felt like I was in the guy's locker room alone with a turn coat. The language is a bit raw at times, but not obscene. It's like having an older brother warning you about stuff guys do, and showing you how they think and how to make them get all stupid over you. It was brutally honest. Of course I had to try everything out for myself, and to no surprise, these things worked. Guys for the most part are a lot easier than they let on. A wink and a smile can get you far without having to do anything you feel uncomfortable doing.

Some of what you read here may not sound like it can work, but I have had a lot of fun playing with the advice here, and as long as it works, I am happy to have hot guys doing nice things for me for a change.

It worked for my daughter.......2007-04-26

When my single daughter got this book she was so excited but I rolled my eyes thinking, "Whatever." But I have to admit that since she has read this book she has had more confidence and has seemed to come out of her shell. Lately I have seen her out on the porch talking to various guys in the neighborhood who now wave to her everytime they pass by. She said she really liked the section on "how to meet guys". All you have to do is smile, and these days that's all she seems to be doing - smiling. Its nice to see. She gives this book 5 stars. Who knows - maybe this book can help me get my husband to finish all those projects that need to be done around the house - hmmmm.
