They interview dozens of individuals and talk about the differing kinds of lake monster sightings, delve into attainable motives for these sightings, and consider hoaxes, facts claims, and legends surrounding the monsters. The authors have performed groundbreaking fieldwork and experiments at lakes, tested photographic proof, and analyzed the most up-tp-date sonar readings. Incorporating newly-revealed details and updated advancements, the instances in Lake Monster Mysteries are in-depth, firsthand investigations that would tell and entertain either avid lake monster researchers and enthusiasts of unexplained mysteries.

From there he went on to technical and management positions in the government and industry. Edlefsen was interested in vapor pressure in soil and in the broad field of thermodynamics of soil moisture. He collaborated with Alfred B. C. Anderson (1906-) in writing a comprehensive monograph "Thermodynamics of Soil Moisture" (Edlefsen and Anderson, 1943), published as an issue of Hilgardia, containing 175 references, and which was for a great many years the standard reference in this area of soils.
F. Lutz (1907- ), the 1940 chairman of Division S-I, in Early Soil Physics into the Mid-20th Century 35 1977 prepared an excellent "History of the Soil Science Society of America" (Lutz, 1977). It was in this era that the Soil Conservation Service was created in the United States to deal formally with preservation of soils, which were being lost to wind and water erosion. Hugh Hammond Bennett (1881-1960) , whose work and writings (1939; Brink, 1947), so clearly demonstrated the need for conservation, was a major force in this development.
Frank J. Veihmeyer (1886-1977) in the late 1920s, with colleagues, made extensive studies of soil water conditions and plant growth (Conrad and Veihmeyer, (1929) that later evolved into a definition of available water, which was the difference between field capacity (not rigorously 42 W. H. Gardner defined) and wilting point (Veihmeyer and Hendrickson, 1931, 1933). " Their observations and their concept of available water became widely accepted and, although not supported by modern water-plant growth evidence, did serve to make irrigation a quantitative science.
