Introduction to Soil Physics
“Introduction to Soil Physics” by Daniel Hillel, published by Academic Press on March 14, 1982, is a comprehensive exploration of soil’s physical properties. This first edition spans 364 pages and is presented in English. The book serves as a unified and simplified version of two earlier volumes, focusing on essential concepts while omitting nonessential topics. It aims to provide a clear understanding of how soil properties influence various processes in the field, making it accessible to readers with little prior knowledge of the subject.
Readers will find a detailed examination of soil physics, including the impact of human activities on soil processes. The text includes sample problems designed to demonstrate the practical application of theoretical principles. By presenting the material in an elementary and readable format, the book seeks to engage students and foster interest in the critical science of soil physics. This edition is well-suited for those looking to deepen their understanding of the subject without being overwhelmed by complexity.
Official synopsis Publisher
This book is a unified, condensed, and simplified version of the recently issued twin volumes, Fundamentals of Soil Physics and Applications of Soil Physics. Nonessential topics and complexities have been deleted, and little prior knowledge of the subject is assumed. An effort has been made to provide an elementary, readable, and self-sustaining description of the soil’s physical properties and of the manner in which these properties govern the processes taking place in the field. Consideration is given to the ways in which the soil’s processes can be influenced, for better or for worse, by man. Sample problems are provided in an attempt to illustrate how the abstract principles embodied in mathematical equations can be applied in practice. The author hope that the present version will be more accessible to students than its precursors and that it might serve to arouse their interest in the vital science of soil physics.
