Harvest Son: Planting Roots in American Soil

By · ·

“[E]vocative and lyrical. . . . Masumoto writes with a keen sense of indebtedness and gratitude to the many individuals who make up the entity he calls his family.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

David Mas Masumoto, best-selling author of Epitaph for a Peach, returns to the same ground but digs even deeper in a new, “more ambitious book” in which “he lets his philosophy about man and nature emerge from an absorbing chronicle of his life and that of his Japanese antecedents” (The Economist). This is a book about working alongside the ghosts of generations past, about the search for roots in the tragic history of internment camps and in the rural culture of Japan. It is equally about renewal-reinvigorating the farm with organic techniques, teaching his children how to carry on the work that eighty acres of peaches and grapes demand. Masumoto knits past and present to achieve a rare and essential harmony: holding on to what matters, despite the pressures of time and change. “Take your time, linger” with the book, counsels the San Diego Union-Tribune, “Masumoto’s serene tales . . . are like a balm.” He is a “remarkable” author, sums up The Atlantic, “with a field, and a sensibility, peculiarly his own.”

Interactions in Soil: Promoting Plant Growth (Biodiversity, Community and Ecosystems)

By · ·

This book investigates soil ecology and biodiversity for its ability to maintain a balance of beneficial organisms to support plant growth. This subject is discussed by a group of international authors in natural, agricultural and urban systems. The importance of biodiversity per se and, specifically, the feedbacks between the plant and soil biota in mediating soil function are emphasized. Examples are selected from allelopathy and invasive plant species along with the, hitherto overlooked, role of viruses in soil. The book is intended to provide a framework for a holistic understanding of the essential role of soil organisms in promoting plant growth.
