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.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfessor Ian D.
