Contains 22 short histories of pioneers of soil science. Examining how and why plants grow and methods of improving soil to increase their health and yield. Written shortly after WWII, when the necessity of "digging for victory" made an understanding of how to overcome the difficulties of different soil types especially urgent. Written in a charming and non-academic style accompanied by many light-hearted illustrations.

Beautifully illustrated descriptions of some 45 trees and shrubs mentioned in the Bible, with a short chapter on each. Written by a former Keeper of the Botanic Gardens at Edinburgh, and Professor of Medicine and Botany.
