" written by many authors from the USA, covers the problem, how to save soil quality for future generations and how to restore the ecological functions of soil. The authors discuss the new possibilities to develop policies for managing and enhancing soil carbon. presents new approaches to achieve positive economic, environmental, and social benefits due to good soil carbon management. The book is divided into three thematically related chapters. Data presented in this book are shown on clear figures and well-constructed tables. very carefully prepared and written in clear language. recommended for a broad audience, including scientists and researchers working in the field of soil science and agronomy. can help in the formulation of future agricultural policies which consider the soil as a precious resource needed to sustain food, fiber, and fuel needs. Also students, nonscientists, and farmers find this book very useful and inspiring."

"Even though the book was targeted to policymakers, the overview of economic and societal benefits should provide researchers and others with valuable information not commonly reported in soil science research publications. I found the summary of federal, state, and private programs fostering soil carbon sequestration especially helpful. Overall, I count this book as yet another valuable addition to the series."
