The Hidden Half of Nature lays out the astonishing reality we've been missing in the soil beneath our feet and right inside our bodies-our world depends on a foundation of invisible life. From the challenge of turning their barren Seattle lot into a flourishing garden through Bikle's struggle with a surprise cancer diagnosis, the authors discover the power nature's smallest creatures wield over our lives.

About this product

Product Information

Our world is built on an invisible one we are barely beginning to understand. In The Hidden Half of Nature, geologist David R. Montgomery and biologist Anne Bikl? argue that Earth's smallest creatures-microbes-could fundamentally change how we grow food, what we eat and how we practise medicine. The Hidden Half of Nature shares Montgomery and Bikl?'s efforts to turn a barren patch of ground into a flourishing garden, and Bikl?'s struggle with cancer. Taking readers deep into the science and history of agriculture and immunology, they show that microbes can provide powerful solutions to the problems plaguing modern agriculture as well as our own bodies. A spellbinding story, The Hidden Half of Nature reveals how we can restore fertility to the land and defeat chronic diseases.
