Résumé :	Soifs and Geomorphology, now in its third edition, remains popular among soil scientists, geomorpholo- gists, geologists, geographers, and archeologists. While retaining the useful "factors of soil formation for- mat," it bas been extensively revised, incorporating a considerable amount of new research and offering a greater number of topics and examples - particularly in the chapters "Weathering and Soil Development with Time" and "Topography: Soil Relations with Time in Different Climatic Settings." Greater emphasis is placed on the foIe of dust in pedogenesis, and new data are included on tropical soil development, glob- al soil-loess relations, neotectonics, and reduction processes. The text discusses field applications such as the use of soils in recognizing climate change, estimating the age of geological deposits, and dealing with environmental problems such as acid Tain. New "how-to" appendices on soil descriptions ahd calculating the profile development index are also included. Soils and Geomorphology is an ideal text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in courses on pedology, soil science, Quaternary geology, archeology, and sedimentary petrology.
