| This book is one of the best introductions to sedimentary rocks and their structures that I have come across in 25 years.
It begins with a section on the structures found in sedimentary rocks. The diagrams are clear, concise, and very well explained. The photographs that go with them are among the best I've seen for demonstrating sed structures. They are almost professional in their quality, and the features you are meant to see are actually visible in the photos (no 'eye of faith' required, unlike some other textbooks). The rest of the book is divided into chapters dealing with each group of sedimentary rocks in turn. Ironstones, conglomerates, evaporites, limestones: you name it, it's in there. Again, the diagrams and photographs ... Read More |

| It does! That is, composting in a wormery especially if you read this book. I did when I first started my wormery and everything has gone very smoothly and even through this cold winter my wormery is outside and the worms are still alive. The book explains all about why to compost in a wormery, what sort of worms you should have, what you should expect the bin to look like inside if all is going well and what to look out for if it is not, what to do and when, what sort of worm bin to get and what to do with the worm compost.
An excellent book for those who want to know how worms compost and particularly for those who want to set up their own worm bin. |

| One would have thought that, now in it's seventh edition, that Tomlinson had got things sorted. Unfortunately, no. Still an appalling layout, still verbose diatribe, and still full of errors. For example, why should Design of Retaining Walls come under "Buoyancy Rafts and Basements - Box Foundations"? Please somebody explain to me why this book is worth the price. |

| I have just finished reading 'Soil and Soul' and would recommend it to anyone who is campaigning, or wishing to campaign for justice in their world. Equally I would recommend it to anyone who is totally uninterested in such matters, especially those who work for corporations and believe in the capitalist ideology. Alistair writes superbly with a rare depth and humanity that cannot fail to touch your soul and have you looking at the soil beneath your feet with a fresh sense of reverence and humanity. |

| Due to a plumbing fault in the house, my family have been composting in the back garden on a daily basis for over a year. What a bonus to stumble upon this book and find out that our actions have been helping to preserve the future of our planet! A number of residents in our street have complainined that the local environment has been suffering from some rather unpleasant air pollution of late, so we feel proud to be putting something back. |

| This book is brilliant...I bought it as I'm doing Engineering Geology as a side module in uni 2nd year...It explains everything in clear-as-crystal English and has pictures too...It even helps those with no background knowledge and explained things much clearer than my lecturer who is a specialist in this field! Brilliant book and I can NOT fault it...Well worth every penny!!! |

| As I was standing at my double patio doors with my nose pressed to the window watching the squirrels raiding my bird feeders, I became so agitated I abruptly jerked the door open to scare them off and banged myself in the mouth with my door. I decided at that moment to wage war. Although I haven't won yet, the book offers good advice on how I can get revenge without doing bodily injury to the little monsters. |

| This is a great little book. The main thing being that it is a little book, intended for taking into the field and stuffing in your pocket. It covers the most common weeds you're likely to find, with excellent pictures from early germination to more mature seedling/plant. It also has clear diagrams of the main features to look out for and the usual basic information on the plants themselves. It has handy summaries of the cotyledon and seedling photos for quick reference and is very easy to use. The only thing is that it's lacking a few more species as i dont think its extensive enough. Its a great starting point but it is likely that more information is liekly to be needed for extensive identification. This should ... Read More |
