Product Description: Growing up in a remote estate, Laura had only her father and a pair of governesses for company. Until she came. Carmilla. Beautiful and mysterious, seemingly fragile but utterly devoted to Laura. And also, hungry.

Product Description: Designed for undergraduate and graduate students, this book covers important soil physical properties, critical physical processes involving energy and mass transport, movement and retention of water and solutes through soil profile, soil temperature regimes and aeration, and plant-water relations...read more

This textbook presents a practical approach to teaching basic concepts of soil water and heat flow, with numerous examples and problems to assist the student. Soil water content and soil water potential are discussed and related to water flow and evapo-transpiration. The book also considers the relationships of soil physics to climate and crop production. Heat flow and temperature of soils are treated as basic concepts that allow estimates of real world diurnal and annual fluctuations. Applied Soil Physics offers students and scientists in the area of soil physics and related fields a good understanding of soil water and heat flow. This is the second edition of a proven textbook in soil physics. It presents a practical approach to teaching basic concepts of water and heat flow in the soil matrix, with numerous examples and problems to assist the student.

Product Description: Remote sensing of the environment is covered through spectroscopic analysis of soil and vegetation response during active and passive sensing. Fundamental aspects of spectroscopic methods for environmental applications are given...read more

Reflects the latest developments in the field. The emphasis is on the transport and reactions of water, heat, gases and chemicals in the unsaturated soil matrix. Incorporates the majority of modern developments in soil physics including spatial variability, characterization and field applications. Timely topics such as chemical pollution of the environment and solute transport through soil are treated thoroughly. There is increased emphasis on problem solving and the application of mathematics and computers. Includes more than 70 complete, worked examples that aid student comprehension, most of which are transport equations that are simplified to produce easy-to-use solutions. (view table of contents)

Product Description: Book by Hillel, Daniel

Product Description: This reference examines the key stages involved in assessing the physics and mechanics of tillage and traction. Divided into five major sections, it covers solid, liquid, gas, heat, and transport process analyses. Emphasizing the physical properties of soils throughout, it omits the standard soil physics topic -- soil structures -- and instead assesses the arrangement of soil solids, also omitting any references to soil-crop interactions...read more

Product Description: This book covers material taught in a graduate-level soil physics course at Washington State University. While most soil physics courses dwell mainly on deriving rather than solving the differential equations for transport, the author's approach is to focus on solutions...read more
