Academic/Professional Feedback

Excellent work : well structured, concise, interesting content and good visual information; fundamental aspects for educational resource. -- Robert Cruanas, Professor of soil science. University of Barcelona, Spain

I am very impressed in the materials and interactivity you have developed to date. Concepts on the "Pedosphere", not just soils, is what we are looking to pursue within our agency.
-- Pete Biggam, Soils Program Coordinator, National Park Service, USA

One of the better books on Pedology. -- Dr. Hari Eswaran, USDA, USA

Very informative. Concise descriptions of many of the major topics in soil.
-- Rick Maiers, Iowa State University, USA

I believe that you did a great job not only for students but also for teachers in the field of soil science.
-- Dr. Abdou Soaud, Ph.D. Soil Science, UAE

... well structured, visually stunning and full of information. Great work!
-- Dr. David Burton, Professor of Soil Biochemistry, University of Manitoba, Canada

I liked it's layout, simplicity and how you related soil properties to environmental dynamics. It will help me convince non-soil scientists of the importance of soil.
-- Steven Siciliano, National Research Council, Canada

I am a high school teacher in Virginia teaching earth science and ecology to high school students. What a marvelous resource! -- Roni Jennings, USA
