Dirt, Soil, Call It What You Wantit'S Everywhere We Go. It Is The Root Of Our Existence, Supporting Our Feet, Our Farms, Our Cities. This Fascinating Yet Disquieting Book Finds, However, That We Are Running Out Of Dirt, And It'S No Laughing Matter. An Engaging Natural And Cultural History Of Soil That Sweeps From Ancient Civilizations To Modern Times, Dirt: The Erosion Of Civilizations Explores The Compelling Idea That We Areand Have Long Beenusing Up Earth'S Soil. Once Bare Of Protective Vegetation And Exposed To Wind And Rain, Cultivated Soils Erode Bit By Bit, Slowly Enough To Be Ignored In A Single Lifetime But Fast Enough Over Centuries To Limit The Lifespan Of Civilizations. A Rich Mix Of History, Archaeology And Geology, Dirt Traces The Role Of Soil Use And Abuse In The History Of Mesopotamia, Ancient Greece, The Roman Empire, China, European Colonialism, Central America, And The American Push Westward. We See How Soil Has Shaped Us And We Have Shaped Soilas Society After Society Has Risen, Prospered, And Plowed Through A Natural Endowment Of Fertile Dirt. David R. Montgomery Sees In The Recent Rise Of Organic And Notill Farming The Hope For A New Agricultural Revolution That Might Help Us Avoid The Fate Of Previous Civilizations.
