That’s why someone also defined it as the ‘chronological record of the past’. Knowing the past is extremely important for any society and human being. Past gives us insights into our evolving behavior in many matters of life. The book is seen as a unique opportunity to preserve the memory of the Italian history of soil science. It represents a milestone and a cultural heritage. Moreover, the book is a sort of ideal bridge between the pioneers of soil science in Italy and the young generation of researchers, contributing to spreading awareness of the importance of soil as a fundamental resource.Soil scienceCultural propertyEnvironmental geographyAgricultureSoil ScienceCultural HeritageIntegrated GeographyAgricultureSoil science.Cultural property.Environmental geography.Agriculture.Soil Science.Cultural Heritage.Integrated Geography.Agriculture.631.4Dazzi Carmelo309144Benedetti Anna294031Corti Giuseppe630521Costantini Edoardo A.
