Seed, Soil, Sun. With these simple ingredients,
nature creates our food. Once again, noted
author Cris Peterson brings wonder and clarity
to the subject of agriculture, celebrating the cycle of growth, harvest, and renewal. Using the corn plant as an example, she takes the reader through the story of germination and growth of a tiny corn seed into a giant plant reaching high into the air, with roots extending more than six feet into then ground. The book also discusses the make-up of soil and the amazing creatures who live there?
from microscopic one-celled bacteria to moles
and earthworms. David Lundquist?s stunning
photographs bring an immediacy and vibrancy to
the seemingly miraculous process. |
