Soil Microbiology, Ecology and Biochemistry
Contents:
There is little current appreciation of the impact of cultivation on soil ecosystems, thus we employ few strategies to manage these systems to our advantage. A book like this is food for though.

Also some updates on current approaches for detection and characterization of soil microbial community including molecular techniques used in metagenomics for detection of non-culturable groups. Because chapters are authored by various individuals with specialties in certain soil science areas, continuity in style and presentation suffers somewhat and not all areas of soil microbiology that are of current interest are covered in detail as one might expect.
Overall this text is a good resource for teaching introductory or intermediate soil microbiology and biochemistry but is weak as the only text required because considerable supplementary sources on topics absent or only surficially covered in this text needs to be provided in order to cover the overall teaching topic.
The ordering and shipping were great, but the textbook is a bit to bit desired. Some images don't look to be transcribed to the appropriate size from older editions.
