Philip A. Wheeler, Ronald B. Ward

Acres U.S.A., 1993
The future
This is an excellent book. Do yourself a huge favor and read it. You will never view the world in the same way again. Sounds like an exaggeration, but it isn't. The book explains how a simple, inexpensive magnet can treat a variety of complaints with no negative side effects. If you've read any of the other Davis/Rawls books you already know that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Biomagnetics ...

How to Grow World Record Tomatoes: A Guinness Champion Reveals His All-Organic Secrets11 reviews
Charles Wilber
Acres U.S.A., 1998
Great organic gardening book
If you have ever thought of turning to organic gardening then this book will be very helpful. If you have been practicing organic gandening for years there are still some enlightning new theories for you here. If you believe you can get good produce to grow from a brick with the proper amount of chemical fertilizer and don't plan on changing your mind then this book is a waste of time.

Biodynamics & Rock Powders
A great book on the energetic aspects of rock dusts(paramagnetic/diamagnetic) and growth and promotion of life force in plants as well as the animals that eat them. The effects of rock dusts go well beyond the chemical micronutrient contibution to fertility and really relate to the ability of rock dusts to capture and amplify the cosmic energies /spiritual emanations of the universe and make them ...

Nature's Silent Music: A Rucksack Naturalist's Ireland2 reviews
Philip S. Callahan
Acres U.S.A., 1992
Ancient Irish agricultural practices; implications for today
In this book, Dr. Callahan shows how "civilized" insanity is turning Ireland away from her naturally harmonious, aesthetically pleasing, sound practices. Why remove a thatched roof, for example, to replace it with galvanized tin, only to increase the heating bill? With insightful wisdom, he also examines the mysterious power of round towers, "magic spots," and the healers such as Biddy Early. ...

An Acres U.S.A. primer 5 reviews
Charles Walters
Acres U.S.A, 1979
The best source on caring for the soil I have ever read!
Even though the beginning of the book has a slightly arrogant writing style, it is the best book on sustainable agriculture I have ever read. It is filled with the science behind the claims that, although complex, is easy to understand. It will make converts of even the most chemically dependent gardener or farmer if they have an open mind going in. It truely is THE organic primer Bible

Caring for the wine AND the soil
This is a great book for both, laymen and wine experts, on biodynamic winemaking. Nicolas Joly explains in a very simple way, why it is worth using all our senses at winemaking. Biodynamics respects nature's peculiarities in a positive sense and thus helps the vine to incorporate these specific characteristics into the wine.

Neal Kinsey's Hands-On Agronomy4 reviews
Neal Kinsey, Charles Walters
Acres U.S.A., 1999
It makes sense!
At a guess the reviewer "A reader from New York" has never had anything to do with soils and farming. He/she just eats the end products. I am a farmer in Australia dealing with some of the hardest yet some of the most potentially productive soils as any in the USA. This book was recommended to me by a fellow farmer. After reading it I was stunned as to how much sense it made. I can now relate ...
