Abstract
TO those engaged in the scientific study of soils and to agricultural chemists generally, Prof. Robinsons book will need no special recommendation. Many of the recognised analytical methods for soils, for example, for mechanical analysis, organic matter and exchangeable bases, were developed by Prof. Robinson and his staff at Bangor, in the course of systematic work on the chemical basis of soil characterisation and classification. Specialists will rightly expect to find in this volume a critical account not only of such methods, but also of their bearing on field work and especially on the study of the soil profile and the process of soil formation.
Soils, their Origin, Constitution and Classification: an Introduction to Pedology.
By Prof. Gilbert Wooding Robinson. Pp. xv + 390. (London: Thomas Murby and Co.; New York: D. Van Nostrand Co., 1932.) 20s. net.
