Teaming with microbes : the organic gardener's guide to the soil food web / Jeff Lowenfels & Wayne Lewis ; foreword by Elaine Ingham Hennepin Technical Library /BPC S591 .L59 2010 "Smart gardeners know that soil is anything but an inert substance. Healthy soil is teeming with life---not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains healthy plants, and thus become increasingly dependent on an arsenal of artificial substances, many of them toxic to humans as well as other forms of life.

By eschewing jargon and overly technical language, the authors make the benefits of cultivating the soil food web available to a wide audience, from devotees of organic gardening techniques to weekend gardeners who simply want to grow healthy, vigorous plants without resorting to chemicals." -- Book Jacket.

And so, in the face of unimaginable suffering, in the face of death, these courageous women refused to accept their fate quietly, and instead became determined to fight for justice.
