"With the
environment in such a needy state, what a boon to move away from problems and hear about
viable solutions. peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird go well beyond explaining how
agricultural chemicals are poisoning our soil, our food and us. Spanning the globe from
teh Himalayas tot he Blue Ridge Mountains, they look in on an emerging breed of farmers
who, with rousing success, are kicking the chemical habit and going organic...Secrets of
the Soil puts the spotlight on the benefits of traditional agriculture wherein the only
chemicals used are the Earth's own." -- Ann Parson, Boston Herald
