Matt Powers (M.Ed) is an author, educator, citizen scientist, entrepreneur, microscopist, soil expert, seed farmer, and family guy who teaches people all over the world how to live more regeneratively. Personally driven by a deep desire to have the best food possible for his wife and cancer-survivor, Adriana, and their two boys, Matt, a former public high school teacher with a Masters degree in Education, went on a journey of discovery and on that path created of over a dozen online courses and authored of over 20 books on permaculture and regenerative soil science -like The Permaculture Student series and the Regenerative Soil Trilogy.
"""With my books, you can read about it. With this book, you can see the microbes. Not only can you see what should be there, you can learn to use your own microscope to ID microbes, test, and then evaluate soil, compost, and roots. If you Team With Microbes, you are going to love Matt Powers' Regenerative Soil Microscopy! - Jeff Lowenfels, the best-selling author of the Teaming with Microbes series ""I am impressed! I find Regenerative Soil Microscopy to be especially timely. This book will fuel the renaissance in microscopy that is currently underway globally. Regenerative Soil Microscopy is of exceptional quality with instructions and many micrographs that will help explorers of soil biology to use microscopy and interpret what they see in their microscopes. This book must have taken several years to develop."" - Dr. James F. White, the mycologist, research scientist, rhizophagy expert, and Rutgers University professor ""Matt Powers' new book Regenerative Soil Microscopy, the Science and Methods is a must-own for anyone serious about understanding what is really going on in your soil. Matt builds upon the foundation that many of our mentors have laid before us and builds a whole new level of understanding on top of that amazing foundation others have provided for us. He dispels many common myths about soil science with hard facts and DNA testing that simply has never been done to date to properly confirm observations and assumptions that have become so well established in soil science today and laid bare the raw truth of those assumptions. It is so refreshing to see someone doing the hard work and hard science to confirm the observations that so many of us have made in our work. Matt sets a new standard for what a regenerative soil science book should be and you will not regret digging into this book. A must-own for anyone serious about soil science."" - Stephen Raisner, author, farmer, and owner of PotentPonics ""This book is essential reading for all people that are serious about creating a truly sustainable world. Matt Powers' Regenerative Soil Microscopy is destined to be a classic. Buy one for yourself and one for your grandchildren."" - Geoff Lawton, permaculture expert at GeoffLawton.com"
