520 _aParker's PLANT & SOIL SCIENCE: FUNDAMENTALS AND APPLICATIONS, 2nd STUDENT EDITION, leads the learner through four sections: Introduction to Plants, Fundamentals of Soil Science, Fundamentals of Plant Growth and Propagation, and Crops -- Applied Plant and Soil Science. Each of the 28 chapters features learning objectives, key terms (defined in the glossary), tables, charts, illustrations and color photographs to aid the learning and teaching process. Learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter are tied to review questions at the end of each chapter, and additional resources are also listed. A "Knowledge Applied" section contains student activities designed to get the students "doing" so that they begin "understanding" plant and soil science. For interested students, the final chapter presents skills and education necessary for a plant and soil science career path.
