SOIL- more than you ever wanted to know This book is exactly what it says it is- a glossary of terms you would commonly find when studying soil. It has several hundred, if not thousands of words. I wish the book were hardcover, instead of flimsy paper, because the cover can be easily bent. It is spiral-bound, which may or may not be a good thing. If you are looking to study soil, you should definitely get this book, because it includes a lot of things you can't find easily anywhere else.
