This is a thrilling and delightful book. It opens a treasure chest of fascinating insights into our most neglected ecosystem. * George Monbiot * Vital, brilliant, wholly absorbing .... A masterpiece of science writing * Isabella Tree * If there's one thing we're going to need in the future, it's healthy soil. Terrestrial life depends on it. We find ourselves at a critical juncture in our history and what we do now will determine our survival. I sincerely hope we heed the message of this significant book. Quite simply magnificent. * George McGavin, Oxford University Museum of Natural History * This book has massive, understated charm. I used merely to like earthworms. Now I truly admire them.
