Field, Forest and Farm
Jean-Henri Fabre and Florence Constable Bicknell
Where does fertile soil come from, and what makes one field richer than another? Jean-Henri Fabre explains the origin of soil, its different kinds, and the roles of potash, phosphorus, and nitrogen for young readers. Clear, wonder-filled science of the ground and the crops it feeds. Understand the living earth with a master teacher as your guide.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
