THE EARTH MOVED On the Remarkable Achievements of Earthworms

Stewart provides a well-informed gardener’s-eye view of the extraordinary achievements of earthworms—the movers of the earth. Her treatment of these important ecosystem engineers is both hands-on and scholarly. However, her residence in the wet and moderate climate of Humboldt County, California, may make her observations less valuable for those of us who live in harsher, drier climates. Heather Henderson's warm alto adds significantly to the performance of the book. Her narration makes the topics sound friendly and familiar. Her pace is consistent, and her pronunciation is clear. The book ends with a how-to chapter on worm composting at home. F.C. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2012]
