Easy to read book about the fundamentals of soil science ...

Easy to read book about the fundamentals of soil science -- concepts that can be expanded to other disciplines of ecology as well. A seminal book and one every ecology-minded person should read.

This is a classic

No soil scientist should be without a copy of this pedology classic. Useful to both new and experienced. Jenny covers the soil forming factors with many real world examples.

A great book but beware of the kindle edition

The book is a master work with many illustrations and data tables. But in the kindle edition the tables are unintelligible, making it virtually useless. Get the paperback instead.

The technical side of gardening

this book is highly technical...which is what I was looking for in reference material.

This is the "Darwin" of Soil Science.

Browsing from another field of geoscience, Jenny's book formulates and describes the paradigm of the field. I have never filled the margins of any book with so many thoughts and speculations. And yes, I even went out into the field to look at dirt as a result.Jenny's theorem is an elegant expression of math so complex that it is doubtful that any solution can ever by achieved to precisely describe the geochemical environment at any moment. Yet is describes the tendency for soil forming factors to reach equilibrium, an equilibrium dependent ultimately on climate.Any geoscientist or scientific minded individual should read The Principia, The Origin of Species, The Structure of a Scientific Revolution and -- Hans Jenny's book on Factors of Soil Formation.

Factors of Soil Formation : A System of Quantitative Pedolog

This book by Jenny is the basis for soil formation theory.Jenny's State Factor Function model consists of the effect of Climate, Organics, Relief, Parent Material and Time on the formation of soils.It may be easily remembered by:Cl,O,R,P,T.I feel that this book is invaluable to anyone studying soils at higher education level.
