John Naka's soil recipes are even worse as a reference than the old Adams stuff. Naka's books were assembled from instruction sheets from his classes in Southern California in the early 70's.

The care instructions and soil recipes were always specific to that region and are now more than 35 years old and very dated--even in So.Cal.
Likewise any book that uses "loam" as an ingredient, or suggests you use native soil (which some older Japanese books do). Don't really center on the terms used so much, as their function. Sand, for instance--Basically it is a smaller, irregularly shaped component that is used to keep larger, irregular components (haydite, turface, etc) from clumping. Sand is also durable (won't break down over time) and (hopefully) inert--won't leach bad things. This description fits components other than sand that may be available in your area. Pumice comes to mind...
Soil components for bonsai have some an extremely long way in the US in the last 15 years. We've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't. Beware soil recommendations in old books...
