This book is the first of two volumes intended to replace the old
and now out of print Precis de pedologie, the previous three
editions of which were pro duced by the same publisher in 1960,
1965 and 1970. It was apparent that the term 'precis', which means
that the text was neces sarily condensed and summarised, no longer
corresponded with the present day situation, for pedology has
developed considerably in the past 10 years and it now makes use of
the most modern and varied research techniques. It has become an
entirely separate discipline and has assumed, at least in certain
countries, considerable importance. In addition, different schools
of thought have developed and their sometimes contradictory
viewpoints are presented at many international conferences, which,
if valid conclusions are to be reached from them, required
considerable space for discussion. Thus, even by being very concise
it was no longer possible to deal with the whole of soil science
within the space of one volume, so that a two volume format became
a necessity. As soil science is known to have two fundamentally
distinct aspects, it has been easy to determine the contents of
each volume and also to give each an identity and unity, as well as
enabling a different kind of presentation to be made in each case."
