The Soils of Poland

Springer Biographies

“Pedologists trying to survive professionally in the 21st century don’t enjoy the freedoms of Constantin Nikiforoff. There are evermore new methods, procedures and rules and regulations to be considered. But directly observing Living Soils in Living Landscapes remains ‘the point at the horizon’ for future pedology, providing a much-needed echo at this point in time of the work of Constantin Nikiforoff.”-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Johan BoumaWageningen University, Netherlands&nbsp;&nbsp;“Alfred Hartemink continues his studies of the beginnings of soil science in the USA by examining the life and contributions of Constantin Nikiforoff. He was a student of Konstantin Glinka, immigrant, translator of Russian literature, soil mapper for the Bureau of Soils, and author of scientific papers. The book describes the early history of soil mapping, classification, and geography and Constantin Nikiforoff’s connections to American soil scientists. The book is well-written and richly illustrated.”-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jim BockheimUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison, USA&nbsp;&nbsp;“This is the life story of Constantin Nikiforoff, one of the great pioneers in pedology, who fled Russia to continue his career in the USA. It unearths in detail how excellence of soil science in Russia has benefited developments in the USA. This book is also about digging in the past for understanding contemporary issues. It reads like a novel and is compelling literature for anyone interested in progress in soil science.” -&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jozef (Seppe) DeckersKU Leuven University, Belgium&nbsp;“Alfred Hartemink believes that individuals make a difference to the course of history and, therefore, soil science.&nbsp; He is right. And he brings fiery, passionate and tireless energy and scholarship to bear to convert the rest of us.”-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; David DentFormer ISRIC Director. UK&nbsp;“This is a book for Pedology Thinkers. It couples the virtues of interdisciplinarity to the strong will of obtaining pedogenic evidence and knowledge. This book deserves much applause as it is a biography of the unique Russian American Constantin Nikiforoff, and a compendium of pedological evolution. It travels effortlessly through the emerging field of soil science.“-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Selim KapurUniversity of Çukurova, Türkiye&nbsp;“The biography of Constantin Nikiforoff is a comprehensive review of his remarkable accomplishments and legacy in soil science. The book traces his journey from Russia to the USA and highlights his influential work and dedication. Alfred Hartemink captures the essence of his contributions to the discipline, making it an insightful read into the life of this renowned soil scientist.”&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Maxine J. LevinChair SSSA Council on History, Philosophy and Sociology of Soil Science, USA&nbsp;“Truth is stranger than fiction. You can enjoy the personal history of Constantin Nikiforoff as if you were watching a Russian drama during the revolution, or a Hollywood movie. After reading this book, you will become an eloquent storyteller of Pedology, and it is highly recommended for anyone interested in soil science and its early beginnings.”-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Takashi KosakiKyoto University, Japan&nbsp;“The book is an exciting story, and it reads like a romantic journey for soil scientists. It reviews the career of Constantin Nikiforoff as well as the history and achievements of pedology. Deep digging into early studies and soil scientists teaches us to respect our past.”-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Erika MicheliSzent Istvan University, Hungary&nbsp;“This marvelous biography reminds me that soils have memories that tend to dissipate over time. Constantin Nikiforoff was important to the early development of soil science and well deserves Alfred Hartemink’s scientific account. His book provides new perspectives of early American soil science and in so doing demonstrates the genius and power of 19th century soil concepts that can be designated as Russian.”-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dan RichterDuke University, USA&nbsp;“Constantin Nikiforoff played a pivotal role in the evolution of American soil science. He emphasized the importance of understanding soil in relation to the landscapes and systems that form it—not just as an agricultural resource, but as a living natural body. His views played a key role in shifting soil science from a descriptive discipline to one focused on genesis and dynamic processes. His ideas remain strikingly relevant today.”-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Kate ScowUniversity of California Davis, USA

The International Library of Environmental, Agricultural and Food Ethics

This open access edited volume argues that food systems need to be questioned on ethical and epistemic grounds, and firmly posits African philosophy as a valuable and much-needed source in doing so. It presents critical perspectives on the ethical and epistemic complexities of food systems whilst also providing a practical outlook through success stories of food systems underpinned by African ways of thinking and doing. The central premise is the necessity of taking an intercultural approach in examining and re-thinking food systems successfully, which means to draw from and do justice to a diversity of knowledge. As such, it sets out to challenge the status quo and the prevailing western dominant narrative whilst asserting its importance alongside other forms of knowledge in tackling issues in the food system. The book introduces the reader into the politics of food systems, while highlighting the relevance of African philosophy through illuminating the relationship between ongoing western hegemony and the violation of the universal human right to food. Case studies across the continent are presented to unearth and critique inequalities and injustices in various domains of Africa's agricultural sector, ranging from seed systems to markets. However, first and foremost, the book presents African philosophy as an essential source for bringing back balance and justice in food systems that can feed all. To this end, the book starts from African philosophy, such as&nbsp;ubu-ntu, Akan and Shona Philiosophy, and illustrates ethical and epistemic inquiries with real-life examples in practice. This is a must-read for both academics and advanced (masters-level) students interested in African perspectives on food systems. “This book breaks new ground in its interdisciplinary approach as a thorough and sustained attempt at articulating philosophically and through practical case studies, the universal human need for food sovereignty with specific focus on the African continent. It questions the unrelenting imposition of hegemonic models and advocates alternative approaches that recentre African philosophies and site-specific knowledge practices.” - Prof. Pascah Mungwini,&nbsp; Professor of Philosophy, University of South Africa (UNISA).

Springer Textbooks in Earth Sciences, Geography and Environment

The first textbook of geoarchaeology provides an excellent introduction to a multifaceted discipline that is related to archaeology as well as to physical geography and other geosciences. The overview of the broad methodological diversity of geoarchaeology makes this book a reliable reference for students, researchers and practitioners. It is therefore an indispensable tool for all those who deal with questions of environmental and cultural history. Geoarchaeological issues are among the most popular topics within the disciplines involved. By deciphering geoarchives using modern dating and analysis methods and interdisciplinary approaches, it is possible to locate past cultures within their environment and reconstruct past landscapes. Especially in the age of global change, it seems all the more important to understand conditions, processes and dynamics of the past, not least in order to be able to apply insights gained to future developments. The book was compiled byscientists from more than 30 different university institutes, authorities and research institutions. The editors are spokespersons for the Geoarchaeology Working Group, which was founded in 2004. Their more than 70 co-authors are among the most knowledgeable experts on their subjects in the German-speaking world and beyond.
