The authors set out to write a textbook on the processes of soil profile genesis and should be applauded for accomplishing this objective.

The many questions and problems in each chapter – together with extensive answers and solutions – are the clear strength of Soil Formation. Questions delve into the fundamental tenets of pedology, challenge the reader to connect basic processes to contemporary features, and lead students through the relative merits of conflicting theories on the formation of specific soil features. 

As a professor trained in soil genesis, I found the questions almost uniformly interesting, challenging, and penetrating. Working through the questions and problems in this book would provide a rigorous training for any advanced pedology graduate student (and for many pedology professors as well). The broader organization of the book makes it relatively easy to find the appropriate chapter for a topic of interest. No other pedology text provides a collection of questions and problems remotely comparable to those included in Soil Formation.(David J. Brown, Montana State University, Soil Science Vol. 169 No. 4)

Soil Formation

&#8220;In Too Busy Marco (2010), the red parrot had too much on his plate. Now he is BORED. Marco&#8217;s mom has the antidote&#8212;school&#8212;which turns out to be more interesting than he expected. Well, not school per se. That&#8217;s boring. But there are things in the classroom that pique his imagination, and before long he and the other kids are piling blocks up to reach the moon. The New Yorker cartoonist Chast is as offbeat as ever. Watercolor-and-ink drawings in her distinctive style have plenty of visual asides and silly moments&#8230;. A slightly older picture-book crowd will be the best audience.&#8221;   &#8212;Booklist Online, August 29, 2012

&ldquo;With&#160;the frenetic spirit of&#160;Gone Girl&#160;(and then some), expect scream-worthy cliffhangers and one very bizarre ending.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash; Elle.com&ldquo;In any language, Perfect Days may be the most original and viscerally explicit novel you'll read this year&hellip;.This novel &mdash; not for readers with delicate dispositions &mdash; is cringe-inducing and utterly monstrous. Filled with plot twists, violence and nail-biting scenes, this tale of psychological suspense uses pitch-black humor as its release valve. Montes makes you laugh, even as he makes you feel bad about doing it.&rdquo;&mdash;Chicago Tribune&#160;&ldquo;[An] odd, macabre, fast-paced, twisted, and twisty novel. Is it for everyone? Not at all. But if you&rsquo;ve ever wondered what Humbert Humbert would look like in modern times, you might want to pick up this short, dark, kind of sick, alternately propelling and repellant book. In its own creepy way, it&rsquo;s kind of perfect.&rdquo; &mdash;Omnivoracious &#160; &ldquo;This is the most messed up book I&rsquo;ve read in a long time&hellip;.super dark and twisted and weird and alarming and great.&rdquo; &mdash;Book Riot"Montes is one of Brazil&rsquo;s rising crime novelists, and he has filled Perfect Days with suspense and joltingplot twists." &mdash;Booklist"I was gripped from the very beginning by this, yes, perfect novel, merging literary sensibilities, psychological insight and breathtaking suspense. To top it all off, Montes brings Rio de Janeiro and Brazil to life as few authors could do. A superb achievement! Raphael Montes is a must-read!" -Jeffery Deaver&ldquo;A nifty, albeit nasty little thriller&hellip;.Montes pulls out the stops with a series of twists&mdash;one of which is not for the squeamish.&rdquo;- Publisher's Weekly&#160;&ldquo;A gripping debut. Raphael Montes is a writer to watch - he will do great things!&rdquo;-Sophie Hannah"A chilling, twisty exposed nerve of a novel. Even creepier than Gone Girl. I loved it."- Lauren Beukes"Raphael Montes is one of the most brilliant young novelists I've encountered. He is certain to redefine Brazilian crime fiction and to emerge as a figure on the world literary scene."-Scott TurowFrom the Hardcover edition.

The tale of a nascent friendship between Moses Feldman and Mohammed Hassan, two kids from Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, New York; they have different backgrounds&hellip;yet so many things in common. Moe and Mo meet by chance at the grocery store where their moms happen to be shopping. Because of their similar curly dark hair, brown eyes, and olive-toned skin, Moe and Mo are mistaken for twins by the store owner, who gives them each a falafel. They are also quick to realize that they share more than just a similar look and have the same&mdash;at times reckless&mdash;passion for sweets and bouncing balls. Weeks pass, and they return to the store, Mrs. Feldman for Rosh Hashanah, the holiday celebrating the Jewish New Year, and Mrs. Hassan for Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar. The kids' mothers are not indifferent to the developing camaraderie and agree to a picnic bringing the two families together to enjoy rugelach and date cookies. Author Zalben and illustrator Amini are immensely successful in creating parallels between the two boys' lives, with each aspect mirrored both in the narrative and graphically. Amini's vibrant collages capture both the busyness of the neighborhood and the growing friendship between the families. Completing the educational effort are two succinct informational sheets on both Rosh Hashanah and Ramadan along with two recipes for each tradition. A gem.&mdash;Kirkus ReviewsWhile shopping with their mothers on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, Moses Feldman, or "Moe," and Mohammed Hassan, also "Mo," meet and become friends. When their families share a picnic in the park, Mo's family brings date cookies, a traditional dessert enjoyed after the Ramadan fast, and Moe's family shares raisin rugelach in celebration of the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah. Digitally assembled photo collage illustrations with acrylic, markers, and ink beautifully capture the contemporary, multicultural neighborhood.&mdash;School Library Journal

"Simply put, Lombardi&rsquo;s first-person, all access, total insider account of working with three dynastic legends is as good a behind-the-scenes sports book as I&rsquo;ve ever read."&#160;&mdash;Jerry Thornton, Barstool Sports&ldquo;Fans will immerse themselves in this revealing insider&rsquo;s glimpse into pro football&hellip;His comments on the skills required of NFL head coaches are particularly revealing: x's and o's, sure, but also practical concerns like setting clear guidelines for discipline, making room arrangements on the road, even planning meals and diets. Those who read this informative, eye-opening account will learn much about what makes a great NFL team.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Booklist"Gridiron Genius is a FASCINATING read!

Rese&#241;as:&#171;Leer Tierra madre es como ver un accidente de coche a c&#225;mara  lenta. Es un ejercicio sobre la mezquindad y los ajustes de cuentas. Tambi&#233;n es divertido. Theroux posee un sentido del humor fabuloso y canalla.&#187;Stephen King, New York Times Book Review &#171;Theroux nos brinda la que posiblemente sea su mejor novela: un  cautivador, emotivo y despiadado an&#225;lisis de la familia y de uno mismo.

Tierra madre

"Once Upon a Team is a marvelous book by Jon Springer that explores the primordial ooze from which our current game of baseball emerged. What really came through in this book though were the personalities and antics of the players. The behind-the-scenes events that would shape the season and provide great context to the primordial ooze from which our current game emerged." &#151;Jon Shepherd, Camden Depot "So little is known about nineteenth century baseball that virtually all sources say the true history of the game began in 1901, with the advent of the American League. But say it ain't so, Joe: this well-researched history reveals that teams and leagues fought for fans, recognition, and revenue in a rough-and-tumble era of rowdy players and changing rules. Beyond their quixotic name, the Wilmington Quicksteps represent the flavor of early baseball, brought to life brilliantly by author Jon Springer." &#151;Dan Schlossberg, author of The New Baseball Bible &ldquo;[A] fascinating glimpse of a little-known part of baseball history. . . . Once Upon a Team paints a vivid picture of baseball in America a century before free agency, giant ballparks, first-class hotels and travel, giant salaries, and guaranteed contracts.&rdquo;  &#151;Douglas B. Lyons, author of New York Yankees Home Run Almanac "In Once Upon a Team, Springer so aptly humanizes the hardscrabble cast of characters of the 1884 Wilmington Quicksteps that one can't help mourn the team's tragic journey from Eastern League powerhouse to Union Association doormat. The book beatifully weaves solid baseball history research into compelling yarns of cutthroat business decisions, excessive drinking, and shifting loyalties."&#151;Dirk Lammers, author of Baseball's No-Hit Wonders "Jon Springer has brought to life the sepia-toned baseball era of the late 1800s in full living color in this entertaining history of the Wilmington Quicksteps. Baseball fans will find much to ponder and discuss, and even non-baseball fans will enjoy this lively history of Delaware at a time when immigrants and the sons of immigrants made baseball their great American passion."&#151;David Healey, author of Great Storms of the Chesapeake
