| Summary | "Shines a spotlight on the species in the five kingdoms that keep nature thriving and the ecosystems in balance. The book will explore the vital species and their habits, from large scavengers such as vultures and smaller detritivores including, and finally composers, who restore organic waste back to nutrients held in the earth, ready to be used again. We will look at what happens when large species die, and how we, as humans can utilize composting to reduce the impact currently affecting our precious planet"-- |
