Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["E. E. Mitchamore Jr" <emitch@att.net>]

As I responded to another earlier:

 

Best overview of Earth's problems, with solutions - Plan B 2.0 by Lester Brown

Best explanation of how we got here - Guns, Germs and Steel or Collapse by Jared Diamond

Best intensive gardening overview - Getting the Most from Your Garden by Rodale

Best how-do-social-trends-work - The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell

Best "soil" book - Teaming with Microbes by Lowenfels & Lewis

 

That's three, right?

 

Want to add:  Best book on food - Real Food by Nina Planck

 

Note that this is pretty fuzzy logic opinion.  I considered not only "apparent" truth, but references and whether it's easy to read/understand.  There are lots of factual books that keep me re-reading passages because they weren't clear.  Diamond's books are tedious, but worth the effort.  Gladwell is sometimes hard to follow but, again, worth the effort.

 

Also, there are about 50 books in my pile or Amazon's wish list that are in future plans.
