This open access book highlights concepts discussed at two
international conferences that brought together world-renowned
scientists to advance the science of potassium (K) recommendations
for crops. There was general agreement that the potassium
recommendations currently in general use are oversimplified,
outdated, and jeopardize soil, plant, and human health.
Accordingly, this book puts forward a significantly expanded K
cycle that more accurately depicts K inputs, losses and
transformations in soils. This new cycle serves as both the
conceptual basis for the scientific discussions in this book and a
framework upon which to build future improvements. Previously used
approaches are critically reviewed and assessed, not only for their
relevance to future enhancements, but also for their use as metrics
of sustainability. An initial effort is made to link K nutrition in
crops and K nutrition in humans. The book offers an invaluable
asset for graduate students, educators, industry scientists, data
scientists, and advanced agronomists.
Kant's critical philosophy is rife with conflicting and aporetic
doctrines. Amongst several difficult doctrines, one of the most
salient and obscure discussions surrounds Kant's view of the
imagination, Einbildungskraft. One finds Kant's initial discussion
of the imagination in the section entitled the Transcendental
Deduction in his Critique of Pure Reason; by Kant's own admission,
the section that cost him the most labor. Instrumental in these
most critical passagesis Kant's discussion of the imagination, but,
due to revisions and emendations and a seeming change in doctrine
from the 1st to the 3rd Critique, Kant's considered view of the
imagination remains unclear. Many scholars eschew the discussion
altogether, considering it arcana of an obsolete faculty
pyschology. Even prominent Kant scholars have typically overlooked
or marginalized pivotal sections in Kant's works in order to avoid
dealing with this issue. Recently, however, a new interest in the
imagination has resurfaced. This volume is a collection of essays
that addresses the many uses of imagination throughout Kant's
entire critical corpus, and intends to gain a better understanding
of this lacuna.

In its first edition, Soils established itself as the leading
textbook in the fields of pedology and soil geomorphology. Expanded
and fully updated, this second edition maintains its highly
organized and readable style. Suitable as a textbook and a
research-grade reference, the book's introductory chapters in soil
morphology, mineralogy, chemistry, physics and organisms prepare
the reader for the more advanced treatment that follows. Unlike its
competitors, this textbook devotes considerable space to
discussions of soil parent materials and soil mixing, along with
dating and paleoenvironmental reconstruction techniques applicable
to soils. Although introductions to widely used soil classification
systems are included, theory and processes of soil genesis and
geomorphology form the backbone of the book. Replete with more than
550 high-quality figures and photos and a detailed glossary, this
book will be invaluable for anyone studying soils, landforms and
landscape change anywhere on the globe.
