This review is from: Soil and Environmental Science Dictionary (Hardcover)

The title of this dictionary implies that it is mainly concerned with soil and environmental science, but it covers a broader range of disciplines, including physical geography, geology, and meteorology. Readers needing brief but informative definitions will find it very helpful! Highly recommended for all libraries and all levels of users!
