This is a Board favorite: "Lots of good information in this series." (Chris Velez)

Reviews: “A study of his publications reveals not only the work of a pioneer in the attempts to rejuvenate our dying soils and to improve the nutrition of humanity, but actually the work of an expert whose efforts remain as valid today, 21 years after his passing, as they were then. . . . Another attribute I would like to add is that of an inspired warrior battling to reclaim the earth for man. It is this last attribute which, to my mind, makes Dr. Pfeiffer’s work seem so immediate; it imbues his style with a freshness, a vitality and an urgency which cannot but continue to inspire us to join in the necessary ranks.” (Gerald F. Karnow, M.D., “Forward”)
