Media reviews of this book:
"Digs into soil in a most enlightening and entertaining way."
—Joe Lamp'l, Dallas Morning News, December 28, 2007
"The story-line is important, but it is the close-up images of fungi and bacteria as they cling to soil particles that really teach the moral of the story — our soil is alive and we need to keep it thriving. Teaming with Microbes should be required reading for everyone lucky enough to own a piece of land."
—Marianne Binetti, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, March 3, 2007
"Should be required reading for all serious gardeners."
—Tom Karwin, Miami Herald, December 2, 2006
"[Lowenfels'] oh-so-thorough investigation has resulted in one heck of a good book. ... Teaming With Microbes is being touted as an important volume. I agree, not only because the information is, as Lowenfels puts it, 'revolutionary,' but also because he's written it in a style so on-the-spot clear and easy to grasp that my dog, Sadie, could understand it."
—Kym Pokorny, Oregonian, August 10, 2006
"Explains exactly what goes on underground that nourishes plants naturally."
—Barbara Blossom Ashmun, Portland Tribune, February 5, 2008
