Editorial Review Product Description The central tenet of Howard's philosophy is that healthy soil, vegetation, animals, and humans are connected and that undernourishment of soil is the source of modern agricultural and health problems. In Howard's estimation, heavy reliance on chemical fertilizers will ultimately lead to widespread disease and destruction of vibrant communities. As the environmental and social consequences of industrial farming are being hotly debated, The Soil and Health remains vital to understanding what is at stake in the battle between chemical and organic farming.

list price: US$19.95 -- used & new: US$14.16 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0884482421 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description Elizabeth and Kathy use simple concepts and fun activities to show children the big picture—how quality soil is the basis of nutritious foods, and how eating a variety of wholesome foods leads to healthy bodies. Their program enhances existing curricula through methods that include writing, art, scientific investigation, music, and puppetry. Suggested resources encourage you to adapt the program to your needs, small scale or large. For instance, the activity "What If All I Ate Were Potato Chips?" encourages children to investigate the nutritional value of foods, while a seed-sprouting experiment "teaches through the taste buds." School gardens such as an Appetizer Garden or the legendary Three Sisters, or a series of classroom worm-composting activities help students discover the role nutrients play in healthy plant production. Handy extension activities demonstrate ways that students can help effect change in their own lives and communities. Background information, suggested readily available materials, and clear instructions give you enough guidance to integrate these activities into your classroom right away. This manual grew out of a successful pilot program funded by the USDA. Customer Reviews (1)

Essential reading; Russian social history as a literary novel
GARNETT UNFAIR TO TURGENEV
More Russian Nihilism
explanations of all sorts only lead to confusion
Quintessential Turgenev His commentary, both political and human, is both trapped in the amber of history and universally relevant (a lovely dichotomy) to the human condition."Virgin Soil" is a very fine story, and the translation is flowing and literate (having no Russian, I cannot speak to how accurately this might reflect the original). ...
