Before you feed a field, you must know what the soil already holds. Harvey Washington Wiley, the chemist who later fought for pure food, opens his three-volume standard with soils: the methods, reagents, and careful procedures for measuring what lies beneath the crop. Volume one of the bench manual that trained a generation of agricultural chemists.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
