Abstract
Geopedology aims at integrating geomorphology and pedology to analyze soil-landscape relationships and map soils as they occur on the landscape. This second version of the book on geopedology fills a knowledge gap, presenting a proven approach for reliable mapping of soil-landscape relationships to derive value-added information for policy-making, planning, and management at scales ranging from local to national to continental. This chapter introduces the structure and contents of the book.
