The writer (and publisher?) so emphasized brevity that he left out opportunities to provide more meaning. Example: * Temperatures are expressed as Celsius or Farenheit. It would have been easy to convert them. * It mentions that babies have more bones than adults. It would have been meaningful to explain why. I'd also liked to have seen a hyperlinked table of contents or index. Otherwise, if you want to go back to a fact, how do you find it?

There is not more organisms in a tablespoon of soil than there are people on the planet. There's barely 2 billion in a teaspoon of rich soil and less than that in arid soil (Oregon state university's website explains more).
