This logical approach to the problem of erosion treats soil as a living organism and considers the anatomy, physiology, and psychology of soil development. Covers the physical features of the land mass of the Earth, the air mass that envelops it, and their relations to particle transport. Examines erosion from the viewpoint that a continuous cover of green plants would prevent erosion. Analyzes the treatment of soil by the various peoples of the world. Features the results of a field study investigating the extent to which the socio-economic conditions on the small farms of the tropics limit the use of modern technology for maximum soil productivity.
