This bibliography is not exhaustive. Many readers will wish to add to it.. Every effort, however, has been made to compile a reasonably complete list of those books which merit attention. Most of these are out of print, especially the older ones published in England. Notation is made in this bibliography of those titles that have been recently reprinted and which should be available. The rest may be found in libraries.

RELATED CONTENT

There has been no attempt at mono-think. As might be expected the authors do not always agree with each other. Some are only involved on the periphery of biological agriculture. Those authors are starred who present the most reputable evidence for their case.

And finally, a suggestion for those who intend to pursue the subject of biological agriculture through these books. It is most important to read critically, check references, compare, and see what the other side has to say in order not to become, tike so many proselytizers of a new idea, "a man of vast and varied misinformation".

ALBRECHT, WILLIAM A.

Soil Fertility and Animal Health Fred Hahne1958

An outstanding survey of the subject by the most respected American exponent of intelligent farming. Albrecht begins with an old quote, "All flesh is grass", and proceeds to demonstrate the importance of the quality of that grass to animal health. Recommended.

BAKER, C. ALMA

The Labouring Earth Heath Cranton 1940

A survey of agriculture from the bio-dynamic point of view.

We are not out to convince anyone of the truth of the discoveries we have made of the way the soil transforms itself in three years using our methods, for we are confident ourselves that time will do that for us. We put forward this method as an alternative to the orthodox gardening techniques, which today involve growers in heavy labor costs and outlay on stable and artificial manures, things which bite so deeply into profits of intensive cultivation of vegetables and plants. When we describe how something should be done, we have done it that way and made a profit out of it.

Dalziel O'Brien, Intensive Gardening

BALFOUR, LADY EVE

The Living SoilFaber 1943

The important early work by a founder of the Soil Association. Lady Eve documents the evidence for biological agriculture. A fine book that should be in everyone's library. Recommended. Reprinted 1975.
