Format:Hardcover
As a textbook for agricultural science HND in particular, there are several chapters which are extremely well worn, although there is a lot of material which hasn't been necessary. I believe a condensed version is available which might be more useful. Best textbook on soil -science I've found.

We use Brady for teaching Intro to Soil Science - It is an excellent resource and one that I tell students they will be able to refer to with a soils question whatever their field of study.
