This valuable collection of essays reveals the insights of a brilliant
soil scientist who was ahead of his time. In this volume, readers will
find a carefully organized and convincing explanation of the
relationship between plants and animals. Dr. William Albrecht sustains
his theory and observation that a declining soil fertility, due to a
lack of organic material, major elements, and trace minerals - or a
marked imbalance in these nutrients - was responsible for poor crops and
in turn for pathological conditions in animals fed deficient feeds from
soils. These papers addressed to scientists, and especially to farmers
who worked with nature are an invaluable foundation for anyone
interested in sustainable agriculture.
