520 _aens inonmentally rellevant kinetics and redox re-actions ane presented (Chapters 7-10) In addition to placing environmental soilchemistry in the context of contemporary issuesthe Thind Edition provides rigorous yet clearcowerage of classic soil chemistry principlesand processes. These include the inorganic andorganic components of sorl;soil porewater chem-istry,interfacial chemical reactions between soilsand inorganic,organic, and micnobial species; ki-netics and thermodynamics of soil chemical pro-cesses; and redox, acidity,and salinity chemistryof soils. Other useful featunes in the Thind Edi-tion include problem sets in each chapter forenhanced learning and comprehension,color fig-ures, sidebars that provide key points, suggestedreadings,case studies that show the applicationof state-of-the-art techniques, and a new onlinecourse supplement for instructors. Since the publication of the second edition ofEncironmental Soil Chemistry in 2003,global chal-lenges,many of which are tied to dimate change,have catapulted the central role that sotls play inour lives, Some of these challenges indude,carbon cycling and sequestration, sea levelrise and flooding,soil contamination,waterquality and quantity,droughts,fires, food pro-duction and security, and even national and in-ternational security. These global challenges areInextricably tied to soil chemical processes andreactivity,Accordingly, in the third edition, wediscuss the significant role that soil mineralogicaland organic matter chemnistry,ion exchange andsorption processes,redox dynamics, and kineticsplay in impacting the above challenges. Rapidadvances in technology have also provided valu-able analytical,computational, and modelingtools,which have provided important new in-sights into organic matter chemistry,real-timechemical reaction kinetics,sorption mechanisms,and direct speciation of soil nutients,carbon,and metal(loid) contaminants, Chapter 1 con-tains a new section dedicated to the generalchemistry principles that are critical to graspfor soil chemical reactions,including periodictable trends. New content and figures illustratethe mineralogical structure and mineral-organicmatter interactions (Chapters 2 and 3). Updatedcontent on surface complexation modeling andsorption reactions, as well as examples to teachdata analysis for X-ray absorption spectroscopy,are also given (Chapter 5). New examples for Enoironmental Soil Chemistry, Third Edition,provides upper-level undergraduate and grad-uate students in soil science,geochemistry,andenvironmental chemistry and engineering withsound training in the basics of soil chemistryand applications to real-world environmentalconcerns.It offers a competitive advantage forthose students looking to incorporate novel,advanced tools into their research. DLS is grateful to students in his classes, andto former graduate students and postdoctoral re-searchers who taught the environmental soilchemistry course, for their helpful discussionsand suggestions for
