Reviews
Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.
This book, another preposterous (wacky might be a better adjective) work by the authors of the popular The Secret Life of Plants ( LJ 12/15/73), is about so-called "biodynamic agriculture," a method of agriculture based on organic farming and an assortment of pseudoscientific and occult principles. The book is full of references to clairvoyancy, pyramid power, and other such stuff. It is hard to imagine that many people would take seriously a book that recommends restoring soil with homeopathic doses of cow manure that has been buried in cow horns. Strictly for the gullible.
