Professor Emeritus, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA

The discipline of soil chemistry examines the chemical and mineralogical characteristics of the soil environment and the chemical processes that distribute matter between the soil solid, solution, and gaseous phases. This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the composition and chemical properties of soils and the processes that govern their fate in the environment. It covers a variety of topics including soil chemical environment, soil minerals, soil organic matter, cation exchange, oxidation-reduction, mineral weathering and solubility, surface chemistry and adsorption reaction, and acidity and salinity in soil materials. The book has been thoroughly revised and all chapters have been updated. A solutions manual and figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption.

This new edition of the bestselling textbook for courses in agroecology or sustainable agriculture updates the issues facing the sustainability of food systems, especially the strong movement from the “second green revolution” of biotechnology, the continued consolidation of the agricultural and food industries, the conflict with biofuels, and today’s historical record of hungry and undernourished people worldwide. The book presents recent research and provides new examples throughout, including innovative ways farms and other parts of the food system have introduced new alternative technologies to improve sustainability.

Part one comprises brief chapters on areas of English grammar that feature heavily in engineering and that cause the most problems for second language learners. The second looks at formatting and working with numbers and diagrams. The third constitutes an A-Z list of commonly confused terms and misused words. All entries contain terms of a similar nature for comparison and example errors alongside the correct usage.

The book’s unique characteristic is the fact that every entry is a real-world example; so, instead of the author listing errors that language learners are expected to make, the mistakes that are actually being made in engineering papers are addressed and directly resolved. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781498739627 Print ISBN: 978-1-4987-3962-7 November 2015, 5-1/4 x 7-3/4, Soft Cover Suggested Price: $39.95 / £25.99

Engineering Speaking by Design Delivering Technical Presentations with Real Impact Edward J. Rothwell and Michael J. Cloud Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA

This unique book is conceptually organized around the engineering design process. It demonstrates how to apply this process to formal oral technical presentations. Providing clear and concise instruction supported by illustrative examples, the text explains how to avoid logical fallacies (both formal and informal), use physical reasoning to catch mistakes in claims, master the essentials of presentation style, conquer the elements of mathematical exposition, and forge a connection with the audience. Each chapter ends with a convenient checklist, bulleted summary, and set of exercises. A solutions manual is available upon qualifying course adoption. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781498705776 Print ISBN: 978-1-4987-0577-6 July 2015, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 164 pp., Soft Cover Suggested Price: $49.95 / ÂŁ31.99
