About the Book

In "The Earth Moved," Amy Stewart takes us on a journey through the underground world and introduces us to one of its most amazing denizens. The earthworm may be small, spineless, and blind, but its impact on the ecosystem is profound. It ploughs the soil, fights plant diseases, cleans up pollution, and turns ordinary dirt into fertile land. Who knew?
In her witty, offbeat style, Stewart shows that much depends on the actions of the lowly worm. ... more

      None(1 Copy): Octavo, dustwrapper, 223 pp. The earthworm may be small, spineless, and blind, but its role in the ecosystem is profound. It tills the soil, destroys microscopic organisms that cause plant disease, breaks down toxins, and turns soil into rich compost, creating the most fertile areas on earth. In this witty and offbeat book, garden columnist Amy Stewart shows just how much depends on the humble worm. Charles Darwin devoted his last years to the meticulous study of these creatures, admiring their remarkable achievements. With that inspiration, Stewart investigates the worms' subterranean realm, talks to oligochaetologists—the unsung heroes of earthworm science—and observes the thousands of worms in her own garden. From the legendary giant Australian worm, which can stretch itself to ten feet in length, to the modest nightcrawler that inspired Darwin's last book, and the energetic red wigglers in Stewart's compost bin, this book finally gives worms their due.

      In her witty, offbeat style, Stewart shows that much depends on the actions of the lowly worm. Charles Darwin devoted his last years to the meticulous study of these creatures, praising their remarkable abilities. With the august scientist as her inspiration, Stewart investigates the worm's subterranean realm, talks to oligochaetologists-the unsung heroes of earthworm science-who have devoted their lives to unearthing the complex life beneath our feet, and observes the thousands of worms in her own garden. From the legendary giant Australian worm that stretches to ten feet in length to the modest nightcrawler that wormed its way into the heart of Darwin's last book to the energetic red wigglers in Stewart's compost bin, "The Earth Moved" gives worms their due and exposes their hidden and extraordinary universe. This book is for all of us who appreciate Mother Nature's creatures, no matter how humble.
