Urban Soils: Applications and Practices
This book allows a systematic and thorough understanding of soil systems. As a Consulting Arborist in San Francisco I have found this book to be an indespensible reference in the office and the field. Mr. Craul teaches strategy for invesigation and problem solving in a very practical sense. The book is expensive, but a good value compared to many other technical books.
