This book was the first work to attack Von Liebig’s salt fertilizer thesis, and it stands as valid today as when first written over 100 years ago. Translated from the German writings of Julius Hensel, the book was designed to introduce the people of the U.S. to the idea that plants require healthy food in order to flourish, just as a human being does.

Hensel went searching for food for plants and found it in the primeval rocks.
Women today are creating a new brand of feminisma one that emphasizes political strength, spirituality, and a partnership model as a constructive force for change in society. This insightful work addresses the disparities related to women's status that continue to exist, but also takes stock of the real gains achieved by the women's movement. While its primary focus is the United States, Feminism also examines how multiculturalism and global thinking have infused today's feminists with a sense of widened responsibility for girls and women worldwide.
