Cover of Various: Soils and Societies (PDF)

Described in ‘Nature’ as ‘a delight for the soil aficionado’, this multi-authored collection examines the complex interrelations between societies in different parts of the world and the soils they relied on from the perspectives of geomorphology, archaeology, pedology and history. Soils are the substrate of all human society: from the palaeolithic to the present, their history is our history.
