Synopsis Humus by : Fabienne Kanor
While researching in Nantes, a port city enriched by the slave trade, celebrated French novelist Fabienne Kanor came across a chilling report written in 1774 by the commander of a slave ship, Le Soleil. Captain Louis Mosnier recounted the loss of valuable "cargo" when fourteen African women escaped from the ship’s hold to leap overboard rather than face enslavement. Half of them drowned or were eaten by sharks. From this tragic incident, Kanor has composed a powerful, polyphonic novel in which each woman tells her own vivid story. Their disparate lives from differing cultures, conditions, and perspectives intersect through their violent mistreatment, profound sense of disorientation, and collective act of resistance. These intertwined narratives reveal the brutalizing effects of slavery, not only on the victim but also on the oppressor: the master can no more escape its dehumanizing effects than can the slave.

Synopsis HUMUS by : Veronika Bond
Humus is the most precious resource on earth. Our survival depends on it, and it is running out. Dramatic losses of fertile soils are caused mostly by human activities. But humans can also help regenerate humus. 'HUMUS, the black gold of the earth' is an invitation to become EarthKeepers. If we want to take care of Mother Earth, then we must get to know her better. What makes her come alive? What kind of food does the soil need? In what environment can the soil-population grow and thrive? These are some of the questions explored in this book. Everybody can do something to take care of our soils and keep the earth alive. It is easier than you might think.

Synopsis Creating Humus on the Farm by : Roland Ulrich
In Creating Humus on the Farm, compost master Roland Ulrich shares practical, step-by-step methodology to transform barnyard compost to humus. The controlled heat method of composting, compared with other methods, will save time, preserve more nutrients, and ultimately create greater quantities of stable humus to add to your fields. Living humus is the best and most natural way to fertilize soil. Dead chemical fertilizers cause deterioration of the soil which in turn impacts the quality of food production. Loss of humus can lead to soil erosion, water shortages, water pollution, and land loss. Farmers are in a unique position to make invaluable contributions to the health and vitality of our soils, and consequently to the nutrition we receive from our plants and animals. Whether you are already part of the organic agricultural movement or are just starting to explore the real benefits of soil conservation, you have the choice to be a mindful steward of the earth. Creating Humus on the Farm is a uniquely valuable resource.

Synopsis Humus, its Structure and Role in Agriculture and Environment by : J. Kubát
This volume presents the proceedings of the 10th internationalsymposium Humus et Planta held in Prague in August 19-23,1991. The main topics of this book are devoted to the recentadvances in fundamental, as well as applied research of humicsubstances, the most abundant of the naturally occuringmacromolecules of nature, the understanding of their natureand how they react and interact in their natural environments.Texts are included on the structure, physical and chemicalproperties of humic substances; the relationships among humus,soil properties and fertility; the biotransformations oforganic substances in the soil; the relationships betweenhumic substances and plants and the interactions of humus andxenobiotic substances. This book presents recent knowledge ofthe complicated and challenging humic substances. It will beof interest not only to scientist, but also to Universityteachers and students of agricultural and environmentalsciences.
