Produktbeschreibung

Constantin Nikiforoff was educated by premier Russian soil scientists but fled after the 1917 revolution. A refugee with no formal credentials or documentation, he arrived in the USA in 1921. He was hired in 1927 and started surveying and studying soils across the country. He was erudite, critical, and wrote several influential papers. In some ways, he was ahead of his time; in others, his ideas were later proven incorrect. Yet, in all respects, he was a distinctive researcher whose work left a lasting mark on the field of American soil science. This richly illustrated book explores the life and works of Constantin Nikiforoff against the backdrop of soil science advancements during the first half of the twentieth century.
