A World Without Soil: The Past, Present, and Precarious Future of the Earth Beneath Our Feet

byJo Handelsman

In A World Without Soil, Jo Handelsman presents a science narrative centered on the Past, Present, and Precarious Future of the Earth Beneath Our Feet. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of nature and science. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
