"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 the Himalayas to the 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" puts the spotlight on the health benefits of 'traditional agriculture,' wherein the only chemicals used are Earth's own." "Truly revolutionary... a fascinating, multidisciplinary investigation of the secrets of life itself. Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird go to the source of all plant (and animal) life: the living soil. They probe the primal mysteries of the soil, an organism resonating with cosmic, terrestrial, and spiritual energies. And they find amazing cause for hope and action" "Anyone seriously concerned with human survival and environmental health will find this book required reading." "Fascinating and constructive... the book overflows with practical information on how to heal our soils, our plants, our animals, our food, ourselves."

"Secrets of the Soil" tells the fascinating story of the innovative, nontraditional, often surprising things that certain scientists, farmers, and mystics are doing to save our planet from self-destruction
– such as using the techniques of Rudolf Steiner's bio-dynamic agriculture with its reliance on ethereal forces from the planets, Dan Carlson's growth stimulating Sonic Bloom, and rock dust fertilizer to revitalize depleted soils; or gardening with the help of truly amazing new technologies to reverse serious agricultural problems.
