Originally published in 1976, this is a book about tropical soils
written from the point of view of the field soil scientist. In includes
a discussion of methods of soil survey in less developed countries, and
its role in land development planning. Whilst primarily directed at
those concerned with, or training for, field studies of soils in the
tropics, the book was also aimed at non-specialists, including
agriculturalists, economists, and planners, as well as anyone with a
wish to understand the significance of soils in agriculture and economic
development.
