Jewels In The Grass: How Water Nourishes The Prairie

by Carl T. Brandhorst

Naturalist Carl T. Brandhorst uses his experience on the Oklahoma prairie to show how all substances that give life come from the soil. He shows how plants such as grasses, tumbleweeds and trees interact with animals such as worms, tarantulas, prairie dogs and bison to create the passageways that allow water to unlock the soil's treasures and create a balanced prairie ecosystem. Through his memories of the Great Dust Bowl, he shows how the disruption of this balance led to an ecological disaster.
