This book narrates how the study of the soil became a science and
institutionalized in the USA between 1860 and 1960. The story
meanders through the activities, ideas, publications, and
correspondence of people who influenced the progressions, that led
to the budding and early blossoming of American and international
soil science. Interwoven is a tale of two farm boys who grew up 900
km apart in the Midwest USA in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Emil
Truog and Charles Kellogg met in the late 1920s and shared a
natural connection to the soil. Both were practical pioneers and
believed that understanding soils was crucial to helping people on
the land make a better living. The USA is a big country, its soil
science is geographically intertwined, and the cradle of its
history primes back to a few people. "Soil Science Americana is an
intellectual biography, not of one individual but of a new
scientific field from its emergence to its complete coming of age."
- Louise O. Fresco, President, Wageningen University and Research
"In a lively, personal voice, Hartemink traces the roots of modern
soil science in the United States...creating a book that will
engage both the expert and non-expert in the underappreciated field
of soil science." - Jo Handelsman, Director, Wisconsin Institute
for Discovery "The intellectual master piece is of interest to soil
scientists, general public and the policy makers, and will remain
pertinent for generations to come." - Rattan Lal, World Food Prize
Laureate 2020, The Ohio State University
