Grounded

'Lively and entertaining...Grounded is a terrific primer to the world of soil. It will be appreciated by the non-expert citizen scientist and is the perfect present for those curious about the world around them. After reading Grounded, you will never look at soil the same way again.' * Books+Publishing * 'No, I did not think that I would need to read a book about soil, but oh, I loved it...It's a triumph. Just wonderful.' * Caroline Overington, Australian * 'Bryce's enthusiasm for her subject is certainly contagious as she delves into the significance of soil.' * West Australian * 'When describing something as apparently commonplace as soil, a writer might be forgiven for unleashing all their rhetorical strategies to enliven the topic. But as Alisa Bryce shows us in her book Grounded, soil isn't commonplace at all-rather, it is a teeming wonderland beneath our feet, an archive of earth and human history and a living pharmacopoeia. It needs to dressing up in order to fascinate and entertain.' * Saturday Paper * '[Alisa Bryce succeeds] in her aim of making the reader think differently about soil...[with an] engaging writing style.' * RNZ: Nine to Noon * 'An EFFing good book: Educative, Fascinating and Fun.' * Age * 'In [Alisa Bryce's] hands, these soil stories are thoroughly entertaining...[and] very accessible...You don't need to be a soil nerd to make like a worm and get into it.' * ABC Organic Gardener *
