The Earth Moved by Amy Stewart

The Earth Moved is an overly chatty book that takes a superficial look at the uses of earthworms. I felt the author spent too much page space regurgitating what Darwin had to say about earthworms and going on about her worm bin and her garden. There wasn't nearly as much information about earthworms as I had hoped, just generally the stuff one learns in junior high-school biology class and the odd factoid, and no diagrams. I did however find the chapters on land reclamation and sewage treatment informative.
