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. The geographical spread includes Mesoamerica,
Africa, Europe, Australia, India and Easter Island. Few things are
more important to human survival than the fertility of the soils
from which so much of our food comes. Yet few aspects of the
relationship between human society and the environment get so
little attention. This book explores some of the enormous variety
in the ways that people have worked with, thought about, damaged
and restored soils. It also shows some of the ways in which soils,
their properties and their histories have influenced human affairs.
Soils are the substrate of all human society: from the palaeolithic
to the present, their history is our history.
