SciTech Book News

As a resource for librarians and other buyers of high-level books, SciTech Book News, published quarterly, cites about 2000 new books from several hundred publishers in each issue, offering concise reviews and annotations and thorough bibliographic information. The bibliography itself is arranged by subject, but this page and the other publisher pages present the material arranged by publisher.

Entries include title, author, series (in parentheses), publisher, copyright date, number of pages, price (at the time of listing), Library of Congress subject classification code, and ISBN. For scholarly and reference books, we note if they lack a subject index or a bibliography. Size is mentioned when the book exceeds 8.5x11 inches.

Titles appearing in SciTech Book News — June 2008

Arrangement is by title.

Irrigation of agricultural crops, 2d ed.

Ed. by R.J. Lascano and R.E. Sojka. (Agronomy monographs; 30)

978-0-89118-162-0

The first edition was published in 1990, and it remains a valuable companion to this second edition for which the editors chose to concentrate on new findings and challenges, rather than review basic principles. Presented by the American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society and Soil Science Society, this monograph presents up-to-date information on topics ranging from monitoring technolgy to specific crops (sugar, turf, forages, soybean and corn, vegetables). Contributions on sustainable irrigation management discuss efficiency and uniformity, on-farm system design and operation, system automation, aeration and drainage, and irrigation-induced erosion.

Methods of soil analysis; part 5: Mineralogical methods.

Ed. by April L. Ulery and Richard Drees. (Soil Science of America Book series)

978-0-89118-846-9

Minerals in soils have a profound influence on the chemical characteristics and therefore the behavior of soils and their environment. This collection of 16 articles includes a full range of methods relating to the analysis of minerals in the soil, from the classical to the most modern. Topics include methods of sampling soils for analysis, selective dissolution techniques for mineral analysis of soils and sediments, x-ray diffraction techniques, thermal analysis, photographic microscope techniques, soil micromorphology, digital image analysis, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, electron microprobe techniques, diffuse reflectance spectrometry, x-ray absorption spectroscopy, the structural allocation of clay mineral components and the analysis of layer change, cation and anion exchange capacities and the synthesis of reduced charge clays.
