praise of Icky World: We Need POO! "If children can learn to be
curious (as well as careful!) about poo, they might just grow up to
be scientists who will help us turn billions of tonnes of stinky
waste into a source of life. Addy Farmer has written an
entertaining and informative book about poo that every kid (and
their parents!) should read. Learning more about poo, and thinking
about it in different ways, might help us recreate a green,
renewable Earth. Wash your hands. Read on. As Ms Farmer says: Poo
is power! People and other animals poop out billions of tonnes of
valuable resources every year. What a waste! In nature, poo is a
way for plants and animals to help each other live and grow. It's a
language of conversation among all living things. If we can learn
from other animals, poo can be used to enrich the soil, grow food,
give us renewable energy, and keep our drinking water clean." David

MUD! "Mud is a much neglected topic. Today with a fear of dirt and
germs we avoid and hide away from mud and peat and similar
revolting substances. However, we all need to embrace the muddiness
of our world which helps the ecological wheels turn and supports
all manner of wonderful wildlife and also importantly food
production too. So far from avoiding mud, peat, and similar ooze
and goo, we must protect and nurture our muddy world. Indeed, I
would go further and advocate how adults and children alike must be
champions for Icky Ecology, seize the moment and squelch the mud
pies. Only then will you achieve truly muddy enlightenment. Read
this book and enjoy." Professor Ian D. Rotherham, Professor of
