Soils Of The Past.
It Has Been 10 Years Since Publication Of The First Edition Of Soils Of The Past.
In That Time The Subject Of Paleopedology Has Grown Rapidly, And Established Itself Witihn The Mainstream Of Geological Research.
Ancient Soils Contain Vital Mineralogical, Geochemical, Textural, And Paleontological Information About The Continental Environmemts In Which They Formed.
Advances In Isotope Geochemistry And Sequence-stratigraphic Models Allow More Detalied Reconstructions Of Environmental Change From Paleosols And New Insights Into Diverse Topics Like Atmospheric Chemistry, Global Change, Palaeoecology, Geobiologu And Mass Extinction.
This Fully Updated Second Edition Of Soils Of The Past Gives Describes The Main Types Of Ancient Soil, Procedures For Their Recognition And Study, Their Classification And, Most Significantly, A Wide Array Of Examples Of How Paleosols Have Been Used For Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction.
Soils Of The Past Is Written For Advanced Undergraduates Studying Paleopedology Being of the kind which Part Of A Degree In Geology, Environmental Science, Or Physical Geography, And For Interested Professional Earth Scientists.
In The Last Few Yeqrs However Palaeopedology Has Become An Established Discipline In Its Oan Right, So The Time Is Ripe For A New Edition.
This New Book Will Be A Good Reflection Of The Current State Of Knowledge And Be Widely Adopted.
Fiirst Edition Was Very Well Received And Sold Over 1500 Copies When The Subject Was Relatively New.
The Field Has Now Grown Enormously And The Second Edition Should Do Considerably Better.
The New Edition Covers New Developmentq In The Field Such As: Soils And Climate, Stable Isotope Analysis Of Soils, Soils And Sequence Stratigraphy.
This Edition Represents The Only Available Overview Of The Subject At This Level.

Novel Biotechnologies For Biocontrol Agent Enhancement And Management.
Weeds, Insects, Rodnts, And Pwthogens Are Major Problems In Agricultural And Urban Environments, And There Is A Clear Need To Augment Chemical Methods Of Their Control With Biological Methods.
There Has Been Limited Success In Doing So Because Of Insufficient Virulence Of The Host-specific Organisms Used.
Naturally Occurring Biological Agents Are In Evolutionary Balance With Their Hosts, And Attaining The Level Of Control Typically Desired Would Led To Destruction Of Both The Control Agent And Its Host.
Tne Main Scientists Working With Enhancing Fungal, Bacterial, Virus And Insect Biological Control Agents On Different Targets Present The Latest Progress In Overcoming The Barrier Of Insufficient Virulence.
This Multi-disciplinary Group, With Backggrounds In Different Aspects Of Biotechnologies And Crop Protection Review Their Own Work And That Of Others, And Describe The Approaches Beinv Used, The Successes And The Barriers Yet To Overcome In An Integrated Mannef.
The Chapters Were All Student-tested As Highly Advanced Lectures During A Ten-day Nato Advanced Srudy Institute To Allow The Other Authors And Attendees To Bring New Ideas, Approaches, And New Methodologies From Different Fields That Were Then Incorporated Into The Chapters.
