"Juo and Franzluebbers offer an overview of the properties and management for sustainable soils in a worldwide geographical region defined by the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. . .The text is easy to read and well illustrated with figures that contain source citations; and authors have woven through the pros and cons of impacts of intensive land use on soils in the tropics."--CHOICE, S. G. Shetron "For agricultural and environmental planners, extension workers, farmers, and academics, Juo and Franzluebbers explain the characteristics of tropical soils that they hope will discourage attempts to transplant food production systems from temperate regions and so turn lush ecosystems into anthrogenic deserts." -SciTech.
