I have long wondered about what makes the nature of the soils and their ability to feed the plants. I was delighted to read that book as a lesson of things, showed me how exciting way soils are living systems and what factors contribute to fertility ... or death.
From the rock to the humus, I attended a fascinating journey to the heart of an extraordinary Ecosystem where botany, chemistry and geology meet and give birth to life.
Not to mention a final chapter enthusiastic about the terroir and oenology and gastronomy.
I recommend this book to agricultural enthusiasts and life sciences.
Enjoy reading!
