DESCRIPTION:
Good Material, Poor Quality Figures Calvin B. Sawyer I bought this book to explore as a potential text for my Soil and Water Conservation course. Though much of the material contained within is useful, the layout and graphics make topics difficult to follow. Figures included are low resolution black and white, with many photographs almost indiscernible. Tables and notes are often in a different font from regular text.For the foreseeable future, I'll continue to use the 4th edition of Soil and Water Management Systems by Schw.

It considers soil and water conservation problems and solutions around the world and in many different situations including agricultural, engineering, mining, urban, rangeland and forest sites. There is also consideration of how society and government influence soil and water conservation.
