This is one of those nonfiction books that delivers vitally important information in an engaging, can’t-put-it-down, readable format. Miller’s examination into the parallels between farm (and soil) health and human health is fascinating. Her writing style is straightforward and authoritative, but large doses of warmth, inquisitiveness, and personal asides make the book as engrossing as any work of fiction. Her hand drawn maps of each farm that she visited add visual appeal and a great sense of place. Read Farmacology and you too may find yourself with the urge to run to your nearest local farm to plunge your hands into the soil and root around in its microbiotic goodness.
