Let it Rot!
A readable, quietly humorous introduction to composting, this covers reasons to compost; differing approaches; how decomposition works; various methods, ingredients, and containers; how to speed decomposition; and how to use the end result. Campbell is an experienced gardener, and the book goes into great detail, but the text remains clear and interesting. The simple black-and-white illustrations vary between decorative sketches and straightforward diagrams; they could have been more frequent and more informative. The bibliography lists 14 other books on composting; a list of sources of composting supplies is also given. An interesting treatment of a basic subject for general readers, this is recommended for all gardening collections needing material on compost heaps. ARP: $12.95

Garbage Land
A fascinating, engaging read on the answer to the question "Where does it go when we toss it out?" The book covers the growing problem of our waste disaster, and even manages to make the utterly disgusting funny (for example, maggots are referred to as "disco rice") ARP: $15
