When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains plants and then become increasingly dependent on an arsenal of toxic substances. Teaming with Microbes offers an alternative to this vicious circle and details how to garden in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web. You’ll discover that healthy soil is teeming with life - not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.

Ever wonder why onions make you cry? Or why lizards do pushups? Or why leaves change color in the fall? Don't worry, you're not alone. Acclaimed science writer and broadcaster Jay Ingram wonders the same things. After a long career of asking important questions (does time speed up as we age? How much Neanderthal is in me? Why do some animals throw their feces?), he's here to put our scientific quandaries to rest.

Comet begins with a breathtaking journey through space astride a comet. Pulitzer Prize-winning astronomer Carl Sagan, author of Cosmos and Contact, and writer Ann Druyan explore the origin, nature, and future of comets, and the exotic myths and portents attached to them. The authors show how comets have spurred some of the great discoveries in the history of science and raise intriguing questions about these brilliant visitors from the interstellar dark.
Were the fates of the dinosaurs and the origins of humans tied to the wanderings of a comet?

Description
Douglas W. Tallamy's first book, Bringing Nature Home, awakened thousands of individuals to an urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because the native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. His solution? Plant more natives. In this new book, Tallamy takes the next step and outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation.
Nature's Best Hope shows how homeowners everywhere can turn their yards into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitats. Because this approach relies on the initiatives of private individuals, it is immune from the whims of government policy. Even more important, it's practical, effective, and easy - you will walk away with specific suggestions you can incorporate into your own yard.
If you're concerned about doing something good for the environment, Nature's Best Hope is the blueprint you need. By acting now, you can help preserve our precious wildlife - and the planet - for future generations.

For those looking for a place to start!
For a long time I have thought “what more can I do for conservation and changing my ecological footprint?” I’m glad I chose to read this book. Douglas W. Tallamy really does a great job of breaking down in the simplest terms things that any homeowner can do to help our ecosystem. There is a lot of scientific information as well, which is great to hear statistics and population numbers, but it all come back to keeping it simple. What can we do in our own yards to help? Highly recommend giving this a read/listen

Really good book! lots of valuable information
I really quite liked this book. It is one of many in this genre I have read or listened to. I felt the arguments made where well honed and thoughtful, and the suggestions of actions were great. I only have this 4 stars, however, because I find it irksome when a writer doesn't read their own book. To those not bothered by that, the narrator was very easy to listen to

We all want to save the world
This is a call to action! Not on a global scale, but on a personal basis.
I've always cared about ecology and the environment, but I hadn't realized how my own actions were in conflict with my beliefs. I'm going to follow many of the suggestions in this book, and make my own back yard a little more friendly to the local ecosystem.
