The Soil in Relation to Health

"The Soil in Relation to Health" explores the intricate connections between the earth beneath our feet and human well-being. Originally published in 1893, this treatise examines the composition of soil, its role in agriculture, and, most importantly, its impact on public health. Authored by Sir Henry Alexander Miers and R. Crosskey, the book delves into the chemical and physical properties of various soil types, offering insights into how soil quality can affect the prevalence and spread of diseases.

A valuable resource for students of agriculture, public health officials, and anyone interested in the historical understanding of environmental health, "The Soil in Relation to Health" provides a fascinating glimpse into late 19th-century scientific thought and the growing awareness of the link between our environment and our health.
