The ground, that despised surface we depend on

The soil teems with animals and microbes, it makes the oceans fertile, regulates the course of rivers and modifies the climate. It is only very recently that we have become aware of its importance and the threats hanging over it. Biologist Marc-André Selosse tells us everything in his latest book The Origin of the World, a natural history of the soil for those who trample it, published by Actes Sud.
