Abstract
WHEN Dr. Cyril Hopkins sets out to write a book we know that we are in for something unconventional, but this time he has excelled himself in unconventionality, and has essayed a task that no author has attempted for the last sixty years: to tell the story of the soil in the form of a chronicle that almost amounts to a novel.
The Story of the Soil: from the Basis of Absolute Science and Real Life.
By C. G. Hopkins. Pp. 350. (London: T. Werner Laurie, n.d.) Price 6s. net.
