Soils are short-lived compared to geological formations, and our knowledge of their characteristics from the past is limited. However, the chapter on "Relic Soils" in the book offers an engaging discussion. The translation, despite challenges, reads smoothly, though minor improvements could have been made, such as anglicizing Russian name transliterations. "The Great Betrayal" by Julien Benda argues that the European intelligentsia have abandoned idealism and aligned with materialism, including supporting political hatreds and promoting "sacred egotism." The book criticizes the betrayal of truth, noting that truth varies by class and region. While British intellectuals have not yet reached this level of cynicism, the book is still worth reading. The translation is good. "Modern Physics" by Prof. H. A. Wilson provides clear explanations of modern physics, though it may not meet the needs of those focusing on experimental methods. The book covers electromagnetic theory, electron theory, and relativity well, though it emphasizes the Oxford school's work too much. The text contains an error attributing the discovery of artificial nucleus disintegration to Chadwick, when it should be Blackett. "An Introduction to Physical Science" by Dr. Ivor B. Hart is suitable for beginners, with experiments and demonstrations. "An Introduction to Physical Science" by Prof. James Rice is more of a retrospective, suitable for those with some knowledge. Both books are well-structured and informative.Soils are short-lived compared to geological formations, and our knowledge of their characteristics from the past is limited.
