About this product

Product Information

"You know a book is good when you actually welcome one of those howling days of wind and sleet that makes going out next to impossible." -- The New York Times In The Earth Moved , Amy Stewart takes us on a journey through the underground world and introduces us to one of its most amazing denizens. The earthworm may be small, spineless, and blind, but its impact on the ecosystem is profound. It ploughs the soil, fights plant diseases, cleans up pollution, and turns ordinary dirt into fertile land. Who knew? In her witty, offbeat style, Stewart shows that much depends on the actions of the lowly worm. Charles Darwin devoted his last years to the meticulous study of these creatures, praising their remarkable abilities. With the august scientist as her inspiration, Stewart investigates the worm's subterranean realm, talks to oligochaetologists--the unsung heroes of earthworm science--who have devoted their lives to unearthing the complex life beneath our feet, and observes the thousands of worms in her own garden. From the legendary giant Australian worm that stretches to ten feet in length to the modest nightcrawler that wormed its way into the heart of Darwin's last book to the energetic red wigglers in Stewart's compost bin, The Earth Moved gives worms their due and exposes their hidden and extraordinary universe. This book is for all of us who appreciate Mother Nature's creatures, no matter how humble.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    Understandable and Fun Science for all Ages!

    Truth is, I've never personally read this book. But my son, who is 10 years old, begged for it for the longest time after reading Amy Stewarts' previous book Wicked Plants, followed by Wicked Bugs. He is fascinated with all her writings and has read and reread all of the books more times than I honestly could guess at. The Earth Moved has been a terrific continuation of Stewart's incredible writing style, infused with fun and understandable science. Since finishing The Earth Moved, my son has taken up the task of creating a compost pile to care for the glorious creatures known as earthworms and fills us in regularly on all the details concerning the process. Simply based on my son's experience, I would highly recommend this book, both for adult readers (which I believe is the intended ...
