  What you feed the soil, you 
  feed yourself! 
  In his riveting new book, Soil is Not A Dirty Word, Craig Castree shares 
  urgent insights into the symbiotic relationships between plants and the 
  microscopic worlds of bacteria and fungi that sustain them. This book will 
  transform the way you see the ground beneath your feet. 
  During his three-year dive down the rabbit hole to discover the shocking 
  truths hidden in soil, Castree discovered that our understanding of soil has 
  been fundamentally flawed for over 80 years. 
  While soil might not be the typical topic of conversation, it’s time it became 
  a priority. Modern agricultural practices promised increased productivity 
  but have instead led to diminishing returns. Our topsoil—the thin layer 
  that nourishes the planet—erodes at an alarming rate, and autoimmune 
  diseases rise as the soil microbiome becomes more disconnected from 
  plant and human microbiomes. 
  Soil is Not A Dirty Word goes beyond just sounding the alarm, it offers a 
  solution after solution to the problems most of us never knew we had with 
  soil. With a regenerative approach that revitalises the soil, reduces reliance 
  on chemical inputs, and restores its nutrient density, Castree’s strategies 
  promise to revolutionise edible gardening, farming, and growing food plants. 
  This isn’t just a manual for gardeners and farmers—this is a call to action for 
  anyone concerned about our planet’s future, our health, and the legacy we 
  leave for generations to come.

  The Secrets of Alchemy

  In The Secrets of Alchemy, Lawrence M. Principe, one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, brings alchemy out of the shadows and restores it to its important place in human history and culture. By surveying what alchemy was and how it began, developed, and overlapped with a range of ideas and pursuits, Principe illuminates the practice. He vividly depicts the place of alchemy during its heyday in early modern Europe, and then explores how alchemy has fit into wider views of the cosmos and humanity, touching on its enduring place in literature, fine art, theater, and religion as well as its recent acceptance as a serious subject of study for historians of science. In addition, he introduces the listener to some of the most fascinating alchemists, such as Zosimos and Basil Valentine, whose lives dot alchemy's long reign from the third century and to the present day. Through his exploration of alchemists and their times, Principe pieces together closely guarded clues from obscure and fragmented texts to reveal alchemy's secrets, and—most exciting for budding alchemists—uses them to recreate many of the most famous recipes in his lab, including those for the "glass of antimony" and "philosophers' tree." This unique approach brings the listener closer to the actual work of alchemy than any other book.
