A world-wide interest in soil and water conservation is forcing greater emphasis to be placed on the teaching of soil physics. This is the first comprehensive university level text on the subject, primarily designed to serve as a textbook for advanced undergraduate soil physics courses and as a basis for postgraduate courses. It attempts to convey the idea that soil is a multiphase system and the first three sections deal with the three phases of soil: solid, liquid and gas. An important feature of this book is that it collects together information scattered in numerous original research papers, standard texts of physics, physical chemistry, soil mechanics, geophysics etc and interweaves it to present a clear picture of the modern view of the soil physical phenomena.
