Very intro to Soil
This was way to introduction to Soil Science and didn't have enough actual science details. The AI voice made parts hard to understand even with Soils background.

Not recommended
As if a machine reads an encyclopedia. The same topics are repeated over and over again. It just isn't a real Book. If you don't do it properly, please don't "write" books!
