Well, this isn't that book. This book was a collection of short, disjointed, memoir-type stories of the author's encounters with dirt. There were only a few grains of useful or interesting information in this book. Otherwise it was rather tedious. This outstanding collection of essays by William Bryan Logan brings everything beneath our feet up into our consciousness as a lens on life and the cycles of nature. The writing is smooth and enjoyable. Where there is heavy science, it is situated in a meaningful point. You will think differently about soil, what it tells us about our past, and what it suggests about our future. näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
"You are about to read a lot about dirt, which no one knows very much about." So begins the cult classic that brings mystery and magic to "that stuff that won't come off your collar."John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Saint Phocas, Darwin, and Virgil parade through this thought-provoking work, taking their place next to the dung beetle, the compost heap, dowsing, historical farming, and the microscopic biota that till the soil. Whether William Bryant Logan is traversing the far reaches of the cosmos or plowing through our planet's crust, his delightful, elegant, and surprisingly soulful meditations greatly enrich our concept of "dirt," that substance from which we all arise and to which we all must return.
