Description: A love letter to Mother Earth and entertaining must - read that goes to the heart of our survival Charles Massy author of Call of the Reed Warbler. Perfect for fans of Wilding by Isabella Tree. What we do to the soil we do to ourselves. Soil is the unlikely story of our most maligned resource as swashbuckling hero. A saga of bombs ice ages and civilisations falling. Of ancient hunger modern sicknesses and gastronomic delight. It features poison gas climate collapse and a mind - blowing explanation of how rain is formed. For too long we've not only neglected the land beneath us we've squandered and debased it by over - clearing over - grazing and over - ploughing. But if we want our food to nourish us and to ensure our planet's long - term health we need to understand how soil works - how it's made how it's lost and how it can be repaired. In this ode to the thin veneer of Earth that gifts us life commentator and farmer Matthew Evans shows us that what we do in our backyards on our farms and what we put on our dinner tables really matters and can be a source of hope. Isn't it time we stopped treating the ground beneath our feet like dirt?
