Soil science is a relatively new discipline which has mainly developed since the 1880s. It uses terms, methods and processes borrowed from other basic disciplines like climatology, geology, chemistry, physics and biology, but with a direct application to soils. At present, it is difficult to speak about one single science but as soil sciences, as they cover several fields including: pedology (o...

Clouds have been observed recently on Titan, through the thick haze, using near-infrared spectroscopy and images near the south pole and in temperate regions near 40 degrees S. Recent telescope and Cassini orbiter observations are now providing an insight into cloud climatology. To study clouds, we have developed a general circulation model of Titan that includes cloud microphysics. We identify...

Pp. 47?. Philadelphia: Lea Brothers & Co. 1897. This book is intended for the use of three classes of persons: " the present generation of physicians who prescribe travel, the travelers themselves, and the rising generation of medical students should be taught to recognize the principles of medical climatology and its proper relation to general therapeutics." The author rightly summarises much ...
