Our world is built on an invisible one we are barely beginning to understand. In The Hidden Half of Nature, geologist David R. Montgomery and biologist Anne Bikl� argue that Earth's smallest creatures-microbes-could fundamentally change how we grow food, what we eat and how we practise medicine.

A spellbinding story, The Hidden Half of Nature reveals how we can restore fertility to the land and defeat chronic diseases.
