Abstract

This book is a monograph covering a portion
of the Proceedings of the International Symposium
on Soil Water Physics and Technology,
held at the Hebrew University Faculty of Agriculture
in Rehovot, Israel, 1971, sponsored
jointly by the International Soil Science Society
and the Israel Society of Soil Science. The purpose
of this part of the proceedings was ... "to
bring together some of the most active researchers
in applied soil physics in an attempt to trigger
a common effort to summarize and evaluate
the current status and trends of research in this
vital field." Though such a beginning would
seem to suggest a mixing of international viewpoints,
seven of the 13 chapters were written by
scientists from the United States and four by
scientists from Israel, some of whom were
trained in U. S. graduate schools.
