Although I haven't met Peter as yet, I have been an avid follower of Peter's work on the upheaval of holistic farming for the benefit or rural/urban India. to the extent I have known him through the various indirect sources I have been in touch with, he is putting dedicated efforts towards conveying a strong message ,a message against the ageing of earth with toxic chemicals, a message for the upgradation of human health/animal health and a better environment by practices such as maintaining truly fertile soil by incorporating plenty of organic matter and biodynamic preparation.These biodynamic preparations and information on best practices have been detailed through this book and the book also encourages us to observe and think about the forms and patterns in nature. I was quite fascinated with the knowledge about the spiral or the vortex being the fundamental to plant life and its comparison to the practices used for biodynamic preparations. I strongly recommend the book to any enthusiastic new comers to the field of holistic farming or to the veterans who still believe in the conventional chemical farming approach as a first read, which will clarify many doubts ,but Yes , as Peter rightly quote's in this book 'Many's the doubt that needs to be answered of this direction to be mastered But this courage now to change the way' let Grasp the Nettle pave the wayOne Man, One Cow, One Planet
