The Last Drop<\/a>Tim Smedley<\/em>Picador, $29.99<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A journalist and a farmer visit three fields with different styles of cultivation \u2014 conventional, organic and no-till \u2014 to bury cotton underwear in each. Though this sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, it\u2019s actually a test of soil health. Healthy soil that produces robust crops holds plenty of water and teems with life that will feast on the undies. This scene is just one of many in U.K.-based journalist Tim Smedley\u2019s book The Last Drop<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n
