Chemicals, Humus and the Soil (1957 edition)

Hopkins, Donald P.

Original publication date: 1957

Original publisher: London: Faber and Faber Ltd

Publication status: Out of print

A simple presentation of contemporary knowledge and opinions about fertilizers, manures and soil fertility.

Why does this library offer two editions of the same title? The dust jacket fly-leaf promo says: ” . . . is a new and extensively revised edition of a book which has already proved its worth. Mr. Hopkins has rewritten more than 30,000 words of it, adding several new chapters and a new preface. It . . . contains much fresh information about fertilizers and their sensible use.” The 1957 edition is markedly superior to Hopkins’ 1948 effort.
