Grounded

Alisa Bryce

Life on land could not exist without soil. Almost everything we need can be traced to the soil: food, fibre, medicines - even oxygen produced by plants. What would we be without it? Certainly not a planet worthy of the name Earth.

There are already plenty of books about agriculture, ecology or how to grow tomatoes. This book is about the other stuff. Like…

 

  • how soil evidence can nail a murderer
  • the ingredients that make a Test cricket pitch
  • how the soil affects the taste of your favourite wine
  • the soil microbes that could be the next wonder drug
  • tips for digging a POW camp escape tunnel (disclaimer: don’t try it at home) or mounting an invasion of Normandy (ditto)
  • how to be ecofriendly when you’re deadIn the unputdownable Grounded, soil scientist Alisa Bryce gives you the dirt on all this-and much, much more.
