    SOIL

    THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF WHAT KEEPS THE EARTH, AND US, HEALTHY

    BY MATTHEW EVANS (MURDOCH BOOKS 2021)

    Review by Emily Stokes

    Even if you think you know a lot about soil, by reading Matthew Evans’ tome on the good dirt you are guaranteed to find out more. Starting with a history of how the earth formed and created the soils we grow our food in, Soil proceeds to explain just how much we have neglected, over-ploughed, over-grazed and depleted the earth’s thin layer of topsoil that keeps us alive.

    Not all doom and gloom, the book also imparts plenty of positive ways we can all contribute to a healthy, functioning microbial soil life.
